Winter Project - Spring Is Coming!

My winter project – purchased (bartered) off Craig’s List from a guy up in Pottsville back in January. I honestly don’t think it was EVER cleaned – I took it apart piece by piece – cleaned it and rebuilt - some parts had to be fabricated. Practically re-wired the whole thing – many connectors were broken or corroded – used wire loom to wrap all the wires nicely. Spent a few bucks on a new seat cover, back wheels (used – again off Craig’s List), throttle control, and new grips. The engine is in very good shape – I changed the oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plug, and cleaned the entire engine as best I could. I still have to finish the front and rear racks (re-paint), change the gear oil in the final drive, replace the fuel lines, and touch up paint a few places on the frame. Waiting for warmer weather to take it for a real test drive.


Anyway, here are some before and after pictures…
