Couldn't resist when it was posted for sale. Made the deal, and will be picking it up in a week or so. Should be fun.
The plan is as follows:
1. Get it ready for safety - tires, petcock, fix signal lights etc. Just bare minimum.
2. Register it, plate it, insure it
3. Ride it once or twice if possible to Timmy's on Thursday nights
4. Dismantle it
5. Powdercoat everything that's currently red to gloss black - everything is steel, including I think the sidecovers.
6. Buy a black solo-seat for it
7. Rebuild the engine - new pistons/rings, valve job, gaskets, repaint the engine cases etc.
8. Polish the snot out of the chrome
9. Replace the silencers
10. Reassemble
11. Enjoy
12. Find another project
Quick stock rebuild. Only changes are the color and the seat.
Current condition:
Target look (except with a solo seat)
