I was hoping that someone out here may have seen one or owns one. I have heard that these are great machines. And it does look like some serious fun. Even if I dont get much advice out here I willl be sure to post pics as soon as possible.

I've got its cousin, the Grizzly !!!
Nice strong machine, but not all that easy to work on. I got the Grizzly this summer from a friend, and just started to work on it. She's my winter overhaul project. The carburetor's diaphragm pump wouldn't pull its gas, but that got sorted out with a new carb kit, and the engine runs pretty good. I didn't want to invest much time and money until I new the engine was working. So now I'm ready to look into the brake system. It's not easy access, and I may need to take out a few parts to get there. The brakes have been disconnected for a long time because the brake fluid reservoir is badly cracked. There's a VW logo on it, so I took a stab at it and looked at all the old Beetle engines and found one for a Beetle Bug 1968-1977 that looks just like it. I haven't ordered it yet, so I'm 100% sure that it fits. They don't ship to Quebec, Canada, so I'll get it shipped to one of my American friends (help to be 10min from the border :) Here's the link if you need the part:

I wish I could find the Repair manual for it. I have the Operator's manual, but it keeps referring to the Repair manual for more technical details...I have it on my XMAS list...Santa...Please....I've been good!!!
