So I found the decrepit and f-ugly 1987 Sporty for cheap. Both of my other bikes are riders and not much needs doing on those, so this will be a fun project. Cheap enough to where I can cut it up and do whatever I want.
It wouldn't start when I bought, but took a chance anyway. I got it home and found a rats nest of wiring with a bunch of disconnected and poorly done rewiring.....all in black wire. So, I hot wired it. Bypassed the the starter relay and got it fired up. So, now that I know it runs, I can begin!
First thing to knock all the ugly off to get to the bones of the thing. I'm thinkin' a dual purpose tracker. Bare bones, light, loud and obnoxious! First things to go....tank, seat, forks, exhaust and those gawd-awful handlebars!
As purchased....
Kinda what I have in mind....
