Hello, another finnish "dude" wanna introduce myself, First i want to apologize my english, i try to write as good as i can, so be patient, and try understand
i bought this bike about five months ago with broken engine, first i thought that i repair that engine but little research showed that there is no sense of that.
So couple email to local motorcycle "junk yards" and ask if there is engine, i did found one but price was 450 euros + cargo and it was "raw" engine, too expensive on my budjet, so i started to look engine from ebay.com and ebay.de, and finaly i found one from England, and price was about half that finlands price, and most important engine was "plug and pray".
I made offer and they accepted that. there was lot of troubles on way to get that engine to finland, UPS losted that engine once and it took almost 3 months to get that engine, but that is whole new story, and we dont get that, lets concentrate
on present.
condition when i bought that bike
Single seat making from fibreglass (my first time) borrowed my friends mold
Of course little cutting, that seat will fit.
little rough but it will do, however i have to mod that seat still because i have honda cb tank, so little cutting is necessary
and heres my new muffler, and frame loop which i weld into bike
And of course, THE four fifty and filthy
lot is in "to do list" powder coating, new meters, maybe clean up electric wires, painting etc etc
But i will update soon as i can, and accomplish something what i can show you
