I couldn't figure out how to resize this photo, but if you click on it you will get the "Full Effect" of the condition of the bike when I purchased it. It didn't run, and looked quite funky with the red seat and rust!!!
I replaced the seat with an original seat, cleaned the carbs, rejetted the carbs, new gaskets, new "O-rings", new needles, new air filter, fuel filter, oil, fuel, plugs, bench tested the coils, new air box boots and brand new manifold/carb holders. I rattle canned the side covers first with a clear coat primer, an undercoat of purple, and two top coats of a metallic blue. It isn't perfect, but for under $20 I think the look is pretty good! And...this bike is Fast!!!
Great job on the bike, Chris. I'm impressed! I'll race you on my scooter!
