Enjoyed and greatly appreciated your Cushman videos. I own a 56 Eagle and hope to have it running in the next year. However, I'm currently working on rebuilding a 1958 Cushman Highlander pass through. My approach is to keep it as original as possible. But I truly love what you did to yours. The red color is amazing and you laid off the chrome which was very smart. I can see why you took those first place prizes. Thanks also for sharing your efforts on fixing the engine. You're right, there is surprisingly very little out there on how to work on them. Cheers.
I had a 58'... for some reason after a few years sold it.... major sellers regret... following spring... scored a 62' off an estate sale... I'm very lucky that we have a local fellow who has any part for Cushman.. and provides service... I had the engine, clutch rebuilt... I have it on my UA-cam channel.... fun fun scooter.... I got two buddies... both rode their Cushmans'' 52' and a 59' to Sturgis and back.. 1200 miles... I'll ride mine to Saturday morning coffee with the Star Buck rejects... 😎
Man, my opinion, Cushman made some cool rides and I believe everything they made you could license and ride on the road, either way, very cool man! I dig it, looks badass! Sounds damn good too!

I live near you. I have many parts and also own a 57 eagle. I'm not real familiar with the engine but I could figure out about anything. My eagle is engine shaped with an 1992 vfr 250 Honda engine.

When I was in Jr High, in 1962, there must have been 2 dozen Cushmans in the parking lot, but I don't remember any of them looking as sharp as yours.
