Coast to Coast
So I'm calling ut the water bike for the 1/2 gallon that came out when I pulled the sump off. A friend gave it to me, it had belonged to their uncle and left behind their parents garage for years. Well the uncle passed away, the bike was moved from behind the garage to behind the barn until it was offered to me. Now it sat with no starter, and no clutch cover outside in Washington. Surprisingly it wasn't locked up that bad, and despite the water the internals are all in pretty good shape. The only parts ruined by water are a few rockers, and the cam. Now my guess it got parked because the starter clutch broke. I found half of it in the sump and the rest on the primary shaft. So plans are to clean and slowly do a full rebuild, probably with a 466 kit, maybe a hotter cam since it needs replacement.
The frame has rust damage as well. I'm asuming it was on its side because the kickstand fell off. So the frame needs some repair, and is missing the swingarm. I'm not worried as I have some interesting parts for the front and rear suspension. It won't be a cafe, bobber, chopper, tracker or enduro, it'll be different simply because I have intersting parts and I'm not set on finished looks yet.
