I saw great potential, plus it saddens me to see good automobiles and even motorcycles go to junkyards because of people that don't take care of them.
This bike was named the best in its class two years in a row when it came out. By today�s standard, most people would probably ride it and say yuck. But it�s my first bike and a great starting point at $200. If I can restore the paintjob, get it running good I'll call it a success.
It�s under full reconstruction I and I'm trying to keep a full log, click here to read it.
Current mods that came with the bike:
V&H Super Sport 4-1 Exhaust
K&N Quad Air Filters
Stage 3 Carburator Jet kit
Corbin Leather seat
Lockhart Windscreen
Tucked in turnsignals
* Currently *
It's being torn apart piece by piece and I'm in the middle of repainting and rebuilding the engine. Read the log for details!
More to come soon!
