she's my baby. ;D
move day:
got her for $300. bill of sale reads 3600 original miles. she doesn't run, and most of the wiring harness is missing. also came with a replacement starter to replace the broken one.
she's missing: starter cover bolts, starter bolts, gas tank bolts, tach/speedo assembly/handlebars, handlebar mounting bracket and bolts, headlight bolts, and the battery is dead.
i just ordered a replacement harness.
future plans: new air filter, new exausts, dual disk (if a comparable front end can be found), new seat (and maybe tank), new bars, led tail light, etc. etc.
i've obviously never done this before . i need any and all advice. at this point, all i need is to get her up and running; and i have all the time in the world and 2 part time jobs.
questions:
1. where in gods name do i find replacement bolts?
2. i'm really low on tools. does anyone carry a comprehensive motorcycle toolkit?
3. replacement parts? hell, i can't even find oil filters...
4. is an engine rebuild necessary?
5. does there exist a comprehensive motorcycle modification/restoration guide?
5. clubman or clipon bars?
