New guy from WI
« on: October 18, 2015, 10:26:07 AM »
Hello everyone. Below is the project I just brought home yesterday. My Uncle bought this bike new in late 71, and parked it in 75 with 7K on it. That being said, it's going to need to have everything touched. Let the project begin.

Thanks, Justin

Welcome from Texas.  Nice to see these come out of the woodwork.

Will the motor kick over?

Yes, motor is free. My Uncle would put oil in the cylinders every year and kick it over a few times. But it hasn't run for 40 years.

Thanks, Justin

Welcome from the other side of the lake. 

Battery, carbs, & points are a good place to begin.

Terrific project. Looks like it was well stored.

Oh, and welcome! :D

Welcome from Oshkosh...nice K2 there. I hope that exhaust is as good as she looks. Bet a basic tune-up is all she needs.
