What about What?
So the story behind be having this bike is, I have next to no money right now and the pickings for "Cheap Old Bikes" here on the island is slim to none. So I posted on CL that I wanted someones disregarded/broken/project bike. After several weeks I got a call from a nice guy that had a bike (with a title) that he wanted gone. So I borrowed my friends truck and headed over. The owner was asking $100 for it which sounded like a steal till I got there and looked at it this is what I ended up with:
The rust on this thing is incredible, so after seeing it I told the owner that $100 was to much for me for something in this condition, he asked me what I wanted to pay and I told him I would take it from him but I wouldn't pay anything for it. He said that if I loaded up about 10 cinder blocks with the bike and took them back to the house I could have the bike. So free is free and I took it.
The plan is to strip everything off of it and build a bobber, I am going to scrap the swingarm and make it a hard tail. The budget is $500 so I could use any help/parts anyone wants to through my way Teardown starts Monday or Tuesday.
Cheers,
JR
