Hey guys, recently picked up another non-running China bike, mainly as something to teach my stepdaughter on, also something to work on/tinker with. Ad looked ok, thought it'd be a decent deal, when I showed up I noticed the front brake was missing and the front wheel was sitting off-center in the forks. This wasn't mentioned in the ad. I had driven pretty far, didn't want to leave empty handed, so I talked him down and took it home. Had it running in 5 minutes, so that was a plus, but after looking closer I'm worried these forks and front wheel may be from a different bike? Fork angle looks a bit raked out, and it's got a disc brake on it, where the rear is a drum. Also as mentioned the wheel is definitely not centered properly. Not sure if it's a spacer issue, or a compatibility issue. What do you guys think?
Think they just ditched the front brake, or does it look like the front end was swapped? The exhaust is a Honda spark arrestor, otherwise the bike seems like nothing has been changed, even has the original fake yamaha stickers all over it, so I'm not sure why the front end would have been swapped. Any input is much appreciated, as always.
