hi from laurel md

new to the cafe thing but been riding for years. just picked up this sweet little firecracker to fool around with. I know i'm not building her from scratch, so i won't have the street cred of most of you. but she does have some gremlins to deal with. a few electrical problems, possibly bad flasher relay, carbs need some work, battery needs to be relocated, need rearsets etc. plus going from a modern bike back to a bike that doesn't have all the convienient things like electric start, efi, working turn signals etc does present some challenges. i just learned, for example NOT to try to kick start a bike with the kickstand up, doh.... i could definitely use some help in getting her to 100%....

if there is anyone in the baltimore dc metro area willing to lend a hand and an afternoon, i'm paying for the beer, and burgers on the grill.
thanks

Welcome to DTT! Looks like a pretty good bike to start with. Once you get into it a little bit, you'll probably be amazed how simple (and sometimes frustrating) these older bikes can be.
