Soal6 Report post Posted May 23, 2019 Hi, I wondered if someone could tell me the model of my fantic that I bought the other day? Looking to restore it. Need an engine for it as it's been fitted with a Honda 4 stroke. Mono shock Discs front and rear Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bilko Report post Posted May 23, 2019 Going on the front forks and mudguard if original looks like 91 engine size depends if there is a model no anywhere Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

technowaldo Report post Posted May 24, 2019 Not worth restoring that better trying to fettle what you’ve got and just make the best of that .it might ride surprisingly well with that four stroke in it 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soal6 Report post Posted May 24, 2019 Thanks for the replies! I'll just ride it then if it's not worth the restoration. Something to chase the kids about on! Cheers!! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjw123 Report post Posted May 24, 2019 Think it "was" a K Roo model. Gone a bit too far down the leftfield "modification" route unfortunately. Engine gone, USD forks not popular these days & overall not a popular model with the retro boys. If it runs OK, why not tidy it up a bit & use it "as is". Not worth going down the restoration route IMHO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aircooled4ever Report post Posted May 24, 2019 It's a fantic 249 or 309 (almost last of the fantic air-cooled monos) it's not a kroo, the tank and frame were different. A shame really but was probably changed as a much cheaper fix than rebuilding the original engine. As said by others on this forum its just not cost effective to put it back to how it should be, if it runs just ride it! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brewtus Report post Posted May 24, 2019 Fantic 309 Honda 4-stroke transplant is.....different. Not internally geared for serious Trials use, but good for......something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soal6 Report post Posted May 24, 2019 Yeh certainly not geared very well for the tight, intricate stuff. Might go a wee bit bigger on the rear sprocket Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
