My buddy has been sitting on one of these bikes for years. When I saw one that is running for sell for cheap how could I pass up the chance to rub in his face what could be, ha. The best part is that we used a Dodge dually to pick it up and I figured I would just ride it up the ramp like my dirt bike. nay nay, it high centers and breaks things. lesson learned.
and here she blows:
So far I have striped the seat, sissy bar, fenders, speedo, tach, new front and rear blinkers, chain guard, passenger pegs, and the tank. If anyone is interested in any of this stuff everything is for sale.
Then I pulled the front end off and am giving it a repaint. The kid I bought it from rebuilt the forks with new seals and they seem ok. They do feel pretty squishy, is this normal?
The top triple clamp came off as well. I don't plan on running the OEM tach, speedo or key so I clean (some would say chopped) it up and gave it a respray.
stock:
Half way:
and sha-boom:
Oddly enough all this cutting and grinding was enough to shrink up the opening for the forks. I measured 34.78mm inside dia. and the forks come in at just under 35mm. interesting.
So far so... far.
