My 77 Bajaj Chetak after finishing the repair work.
1977 Bajaj Chetak. This is a bike that I picked up in Chicago for $150. It was literally frozen to a fence. I spent quite a few hours getting this bike going. I replaced the bearings, seals, and gaskets in the motor. Put on new cables, brakes, clutch plates, cruciform, seat, tires, rims, brake levers, bulbs, points, and I am sure a bunch of other bits. It was the first project I ever really went through with. Very rewarding. But, just like all my other bikes….I sold it!
Here are a few shots from the process of fixing it up:
My boss at Scooter Therapy is selling the last 05 Chetak in his shop and very likely one of the last new Chetaks in the country. These were one of the last holdouts in the world of the steel bodied, shifty scoots. It’s a steal at $2,100 +ttl
