1961 Cushman Eagle Motor Scooter

This Cushman was on display at a local Arby's restaurant for probably 30 years. Looked good then. Thephoto shows it in white on the pedestal. I purchased it and was ready to start the restoration but gave the engine a try. After flushing the old oil and refilling the oil and gas it took only 3 kicks to start it. I found that it was/is a very strong engine 9 out of 10 times will start on the first kick.

Nearly everything from the tires and wheels up are new and the photos will fully explain the restoration. I have the windshield brackets but not the windshield. The saddle bags were treated for 90 days at a local sadle shot with some kind of Swedish oil.

The scooter has been on display at the Mid-America Museum of Aviation and Transportation from the time I restored it until now. A real museum piece.

It runs out very strong and fast. No speedo so you have to guess at the speed.

I really can't think of anything it needs.
