Well besides that hiccup, I did a few things today that some people may hate or like...this will be a hill climber/ field bomber don't forget, no restoring factory looking turd.
So back to when I got it from my uncle, like I said its been sitting for years I don't even know how long I think close to ten years in a barn stored in the corner. In those ten years with two houses he misplaced the key so I just did a little work and torn open the guts. I don't want to show people because I'm not teaching someone how to pretty much steal a bike. (Even though youd have to tear it apart for about 30 minutes so you'd be caught anyway amd which you should you piece of garbage) anyway I did that got rid of some wires lighting /turnsignals passengar foot pegs drained rear fluid etc. I am keeping the headlight, I am not sure yet on the cluster I am leabing towards getting rid of that but leaving the rpm gauge for when I'm getting it running/tuning.
I took the exhaust off to get the rear wheel off since I got a brand new(used) never ran on tire off my cousin. In the picture its still on the rim it came on i just placed it inside the swingarm to see how it looked.
Now the part people will probably hate, I loosens up the triple tree to lower the fork by sliding the tubes up 3 inches. I plan to run clip ons for that reason. I did think of drag bars or possible motocross bars which we will see how it sits with the tank and tires on because that will probably change everything...I believe that is it but I could be forgetting small stuff o duhh yeah I pulled all the plugs and they are clean all the way across and believe it or not 1 and 4 are at tdc already..that is the next thing I am goinf to tackle I felt like doing easy stuff today simce I got 3 hours of sleep.
My last plan for it once I have it running is to hardtail it, I know bad idea for a hill climber but I want to do it anyway ive always wanted one of these bikes so simce it will never be road worthy I'll do a hybrid build haha. Okay enough boring talk here's some crappy pictures for you. Hopefully you enjoy it and sorry if I rambled on..I'm sure I spelt stuff wrong I did not go back to reresd it since I realized I've been typing forever
You can see the "new" ignition and the forks extended through the triple tree
And now the carbs which will be the next task after the timing
And mu bad ass Bates gloves (stored, brand new never used) and some vintage grips aswell
I dont know what color I am going with..that will be a thought down the road it will only be the tank and frame and a stubby rear fender
