Been Around the Block
- I picked this little girl up the other day; I was quickly realising that my XS project was going to take much longer to come to fruition so decided that a runabout was needed. Scored this beauty for a very reasonable price (by Australian standards!) after selling my car, and instantly fell in love with her.
I am determined not to wreck this one with too many mods, I'll leave that for the XS build, but instead I'd like to restore, polish and fix her up with perhaps one or two minor modifications. The PO has already done the following:
- Ported the heads
- Installed Mikuni VM28's to replace the stock Bings
- Installed progressive fork springs
So far everything looks in pretty good shape, but I need to address the following:
- Leaking sump gasket
- Very grabby clutch (new clutch came with the bike in the box
- Gauge lights and idiot lights not working
- Tach has no needle and doesn't seem to be hooked up
- Rims, Drums, Spokes need a good polish. Don't seem to have pitted or rusted at all but very dull looking
Now for the few pictures I have got so far!
