S1LVERADO “SILVERADO”
(The 1 in the name being my first Off-Road Build).
1970’s Montgomery Wards Silver Fox Frame. Had this frame for a few decades now and never got to ride it, it’s time!

I keep thinking, “mini bike conversion.”

I've always liked all of the Yamaha moto looking frames. This should be fun.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do to it. I had one growing up, still have it actually.

 

[Slow-Rider]

Great bones...

Had to stop by hardware store to buy some U-Bolts and Locking nuts for handlebar mounts.

 

[Vin-New]

U-bolts just fit! Very little room for give!
Mounted bars!

It probably won't be a problem, but if you have an issue with the bars moving you can upgrade to clamps from a Ducati single. They use the same method to attach the bars and the clamps are serrated so they grab the bars harder, in theory anyway.

I can't find any pictures of the underside of the clamps but here they are in position

They're going to cost a bit more than the hardware store clamps though...

Edit: Found one
