Hello Everyone!
Time to start a new project. I scored this $200 beauty a few days ago and the passion is starting to burn deep!! The plan is to build a rat/post apocalypse, Mad Max clone all purpose custom bike! I will start by accessing what works, and what's broken. So far I need a few clutch cable, and front brake components. I was told the bike had compression and the previous owner poured mystery oil into the heads...Who knows, but I am not there yet...
Finally made a home for in my shed after reinforcing the doors/locks! Once I get the carbs cleaned, new clutch cable, clean air box, new battery and inspect the motor, I will attempt to fire this baby up. But for now, I am just getting familiar with the bike, locating a repair manual and I will be scouring this forum along with others for ideas on customizing my new toy!
Picture time...
Since this is going to be a rat / clone...I think the final paint scheme will look something like this...Start with Flat Black, scuff, add White for the "salt" look, then tan for the "dessert/wasteland" combination look...to be determined later...just a thought...the original blue is starting to grow on me...
Late night Progress....
The fairing will need modifications so for my documentation, I recorded how the electrical connections were made so reassembly can be smooth...
Mock up of new handle bars..
New bar will need an alignment hole drilled into it to allow the alignment pin to seat and properly mount the controls....[ see small alignment pin ]
