Re: My new ride

Got 'er torn down to the frame and motor. There's some surface rust on the frame that I'm going to touch up, but I wont worry about it too much right now. If I really like riding this thing and want to keep it for a while, I might take it down to the frame and bead blast it and have it powder coated. But that's a winter project. For now I just want to get it running. I might end up getting a new gas tank, but we'll see once I take a closer look at this one. It's a little rusty.

I power washed the whole thing and started polishing all the bits and pieces. I'll work on doing that this week while I wait for a few parts so I can start putting back together. Depending on the tank situation I might have it running in a couple weeks, and it will be like a brand new bike. (well, almost)

Here's a few pics.
