[Krazymaan]

Anyone know anything about these old Rebels, Its a 1973 Forester Rebel 16'er. I was thinking of snatching it up if it was rare and worthy. Information is limited to about 3 lines on the internet.
Thats the original still shinny orange gelcoat.
Looks like someone quit this company and started up Hydrostream.

I think you found that literature where I found mine.

[phillnjack]

probably.
it does look like its got a pad on it too, windscreen looks total crap design, not exactly a lot of thought went into the front, sides are fine.
strange because it looks like a total after thought.
others ive seen look exactly the same , so it is original.

My answer is biased , I pick up projects like this all the time, but you should go for it
