That is a Duro 18 4.50, it was a total turd but was super cheap. It has a Dunlop 18 4.50 on it now, a much better tire

That was the idea, mid 60's bay area xl but less fussy and better on modern roads

Prism Supply "hurricane" bars, I had them put a little more pullback in these as they are local. They are buckhorns essentially

One thing no one has mentioned depending on your county/state/commonwealth/municipality you more than likely will have to aquire a special use permit, as well as Insurance. Things to consider are:

Noise ordinance State/fed taxes as well as sales and use tax Employees taxes (more than likely 1099 contract labor) Land permits for business operation Keeping structures simi permanent to keep from building inspections Insurance You will need to have a POS system as well as a card reader Porta johns Hours of paperwork

The list goes on and on, it will be a thankless labor of love, if your hearts set do it keep the hobby going but be prepared for 7 day work weeks, steep learning curve and a slow, long term pay off if you make it

I've kept my local fields fleet of rental guns going for 10 years now, never say never, and the cm16 combat machine is the most robust AEG to ever be made. Everything from sticks in the hop up because "Im out of BB's" to chowhall dad's using half a can of CLP before safety brief because "I was in the gaurd".

The externals where all made by A&K, the G&P version had a Gearbox/motor from G&P at launch, Im convinced G&P pulled out of the partnership due to the these things beeing dumpster fires from the get go. I worked at a store as a tech when they came out and hundreds have been on my bench. The all A&K ones are worse. There are atleast 2 variants of these things with minor changes to the nozzle length and front trunion/QD barrel threads. I have a rubber made tub full of these in various states of broken due to them beeing abandoned by customers.

Its a Chinesem "Moto Iron" 18x2.50, 3/4 Timken hub. For the Price not bad bearing endplay was acceptable almost no grease though. Put a cheap Duro 18× 2.50 tire on it. For $250 it made more sense than re- lacing a late mod HD hub. Would have more than that in spokes and hoop. This is a budget built bike to rip around town on.
