Been Around the Block
Black and white and gray = Felix the Cat?! Until I can think of something more clever, that's what it'll be.
My 750F took a little back-seat so I could get this thing running and looking good to whip around before the short summers in Seattle come to an end. I bought it for $400. Clear title. Electrical working. Soon found out the motor (low-end) was toast. Found a new motor with 7K for $50. Shipped from Wisconsin (thanks Gary!)
My eventual goal is to race this thing. After going on a local Tiddler ride (350cc or less), I realized how fun these smaller bikes can be to whip around town. I plan on getting rid of the starter, making cam upgrades, increasing the compression, etc. For now, all my time will be spent cleaning parts and making it look good.
New Tires. Mismatched. Oh well. I'm getting skinny tires eventually. I got a guy at my local shop who hooked me up with these, so no complaints.
Switched out for a scrambler pipe:
