Man there are way too many clues for that not to be an old Chenowth.
-Style of steering bearing mount.
-Torsion design and connection point of horn braces
-Style of 'B' hoop
-Stamped steel Chenowth trans mount. (specific design.)
-location of rusted off ID tag.
Google "Chenowth 2LW." It's what I thought mine was, but it's a 2RL. _________________ 1974 Chenowth 2RL #1244 Street Legal

It's does look really close if not the same to the 2LW for frame what time range 70s 80s ? I like to appreciate the history of vintage things I can respect something that's been around for awhile instead of a new frame |

Jimmy is right. I was preparing to write the same before I got down to Jimmy's post. Definitely a Chenowth. _________________ Richard
