Hey everyone,
I just thought I'd make a thread to keep me motivated on this new project I just recently bought.
Here she is.
What you see is what I got. All in all the frame looks to be in good shape, a little dirty with some rust here and there but no corrosion. The engine has good compression but that's all I know, I'll address that when the time comes. Other than on the some of the bolts, the enginge has no visible rust. I know I have my work cut out for me! I am starting from scratch as I sold all my tools when I enlisted five years ago, so I'm just buying what I need as I go. With my limited shop experience, the praised CLYMER manual, lots of patience and the good'ol interwebs, this is going to a fun little project. My intension was to make a hardtail bobber out of it but I'm leaning towards a cafe racer now. It's probably safe to say that I'll be on this site quite a bit looking for pointers on, well, everything!
