Howdy!
Been thinking about posting this for a while now, so here we go. Im pretty new to motorcycles, and this forum has helped with pretty much everything! I live in Denver and found this bike on Craigslist for $500. I knew nothing about this bike at the time, and had no idea that it would be such a great find. She had been sitting in the PO's garage for over 10 years and he had converted it into a cafe racer but never really rode it much because he had a kid. it wasnt running anymore but but i loved the look of it so much that i decided to take a leap of faith. I know a little about cars, and figured that getting this to run again wouldnt be too much trouble for me. Soooo me and my friend loaded her up in my Baja and took her home
My Friend that helped me get her up there
I had another friend help my with cleaning the carbs, and installing new points. I then cleaned the tank, coated it, put in new plugs, a new battery, and changed the oil. Then we tried and start her.... she fires right up after a couple of pushes of the button! I was so relieved to hear her come to life!
My First ride with her.
Since then ive synced the carbs, put on new tires, new chain, got new fork seals put in, and a PAMCO electronic ignition with new coils
New paint on the tank, and i just ordered the orange and white factory style decals for it.
Cant wait to get her back on the road this summer! Ill post pics of her with the new paintjob SOON! Thanks for looking
