Been Around the Block
Soo long story short picked up this stock as a rock CX, with a bad stator for $250. Perfect little girlfriend bike.
Roommate bought a CX, came with a bunch of extra parts, including spare engine. Swapped it out, got it to run, let her ride it a bit and then started steadily ruining any collectors value. The seat was done by a local guy. Cover was an old welding jacket.
Still need to paint rear fender. Lower front fender, a few knick knacks. But got to rip it around the neighborhood a bit today. Need to work on the jetting a bit.
The pipes are a bit of experiment. Long term some short upswept mufflers I think. but for now theres a baffle in each pipe before the dump, to try to create some backpressure. Its a very interesting sound.
Overall very simple and budget. A bit of fun for the girlfriend.
