Little 108 followed me
 

So this little 108 followed me all the way home from Illinois last friday. Couldnt say no. Runs good PO rigged the wiring on it.

Nice pick up of the green stripe. Any plans for it?

Looks like a keeper.
Nice seat too!!

LP is that one of those factory mid backs before the 6 pad came out? Like the one I want for the 126?

Congrats on the nice 108.

yes it is Alvy

Probably gonna put my creeper gear and tiller on it

Nice green stripe machine BigB.

Lew/Alvy...what you boys talkin about? We need more info on that seat.

Thanks guys. I know they had a gold green and blue stripe 108. What were the differences on them. Sure this has been asked before

I've never seen a gold stripe, every 108 I've ever seen has the green stripe. The blue stripe was found on the 149 and 169.

gold stripe is the 86

Really? Every 86 I've seen has had a red stripe like the 128

Nice 108!

Gold stripe=86
Green stripe=108/109
Red stripe=128/129
Blue stripe=149/169

CC from the factory put the stripes on to set off each "set" of cub probably. So it makes it easier to spot a cub from a distance, see what color stripe it has, gear shift or not, and guess what model it is. Unless the PO put the wrong decal on or the hood was swapped.............:biggrin2:

Both 86's I used to have had the gold stripe. Tim, someone musta replaced the decal or hood.

Well that. Makes some sense now. Its just odd i had a 108 that was blue stripe. But idk

Someone probably replaced the hood on your old 108. Hoods are all the same and the model number is on the dash cowl. I've seen quite a few over the years with different hoods. I've seen quietline hoods on the 1x8/1x9 series as well.

Congrats again on the 108 you found. Looks like a keeper. :beerchug:

Very true. If i ever get the gear for my ingersoll ill work on the 108

Nice 108 you picked up!

(My 108 had/has a green stripe...)

From what I've seen the seat he has pictured came on the later narrow frames and early wide frames before the 6 pad came out. Either one in great condition seems to be harder and harder to find, but that's what came on them, with a white pan. Always looking for more info on this kind of stuff.
