If you could choose any bike to turn into a short squatty bob to rip around town, what would it be and why? Something with plenty of parts? Easy to work on? Lots of hardtail kit options?
Ideally I'm looking for something 750 or smaller. It's been a while since I've attempted any bike work, but...
You think this might work? Not sure how different the csr is. Sorry I've been MIA. Just hunting for the new starter.

Haha well it's only the beginning... I'm sure it'll get better[emoji16]
So i put the hoses on the right nipples [emoji52]
Hooked up the battery and attempted to start the damn thing...
Nothing.
Held the spark plugs against engine case. On the left i saw nothing. Tried to test the right...
Well I feel like an idiot. The hoses were attached at the "overflow" hole there in the bottom when I first got the carbs... No wonder my start-up was a fail. Perfect. Round two tonight.

I should have two clamps for each carb, going to Lowe's soon. The fuel hoses are leaking from where they connect to the carbs so I a small clamp there as well.

Picture overload! Care package, Throttle cable, janky carb intake boots, and my new (to me) vehicle! Filling the 305 up with oil, grabbing some gas, and gonna do the damn thing... Wish me luck. I'll post a video.

Hey dudes. Just letting you cats know I'm alive. Shoulder is doing well. Been doing nothing but ghetto fabricating throttle cables. I finally managed to get them to fit. Got a care package from Desmo! All kinds of good stuff. Most importantly the oil drain plug! I'll the pics soon. All I need...
Broke broke broke[emoji17] waiting on funds Friday and Saturday. had to expense way more than I thought... Until then I'm trying to rig this throttle cable to work. The ends that fit into the slide are way too big. I'm going to dremel them down to look more like the universal ends lol here are...
"Woot quick update. Stuff is kind of coming together but just when I think I see myself starting this thing something comes 
Bolts came in!
Cover and points installed
Carb mounts finished!
Throttle cable installed. I should've gotten the diy pair. Looks like I'll still have to cut...
Yeah I definitely didn't have it completely apart the other night[emoji26] might have to research upgrading to another brake that will fit my stock set-up. Haven't looked at the cost of all the options...
Got the new shifter installed and the oil filter replaced! Attempted to shift through...
Haha ikr! I'm not really familiar with the anatomy of a braking system. If it's all gunked up in the res will it be like that inside the caliper and lines? I had a hell of a time putting that caliper back together. Couldn't keep the pads separated. I'm pretty sure I did it incorrectly lol...
Went to fastenal for the bolts but they ordered Phillips instead of allen :/ ordered a new shifter for $20 and decided to work on something else! Going through the front brakes!
break reservoir
Hopefully buy myself some time inside:)

Noice. I'll measure the bar tomorrow. Do you have a handlebar stash lying around?[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] but seriously if you've got some, pm me some pics. There's a used shop in ft worth but that's a jaunt for me.
Also, grand pops got the carb boots welded. Picking them up next weekend...
Simple answer. I like it. I was planning on running straight bars but for now maybe I can turn my stock ones down. When I get frustrated I get tunnel vision [emoji16]

Thanks a ton desmo. I'll be asking for a closer shot once I start rewiring[emoji12] for now They're saved on my phone.
Clutch cable from ebay and 2 into 1 throttle from dcc came in today! Spent about an hour trying to replace the clutch cable only to find out it's shorter than stock. It was...
Thanks a ton and no worries. Im just trying to concentrate on small wins to keep me going lol just hoping I don't hit some kind of wall. I'm going to need some input and expertise when I go to chop this thang for sure though.
Got the tank back! Sickens me to spend so much on something I may...
