    I just started it today. Runs great. I have had it for about two weeks,had to pull the carbs and clean them. I took them apart one at a time they were all brown and every whole in the carbs were cloged. It took me two days to complete the job but it's done and runs great.

Looks like a very clean ride.  Good job on the carbs!

   it was garaged for about six years. I am the second owner. all I need now is a battery,new side covers and a little bit of electrical repair and it will be on the road,hopefully by next weekend.

nice ride-
a couple things:
how's the tank?  would be a shame to run rust or grime through those carbs- inline filters can be a stopgap, spanky tank preferable.
and in the interest of keeping things upright- if those aren't new tires check them for six years of dry rot.  if you cant dig a fingernail in they're too hard- and they will hurt you.  tire sizes for your bike and even brand reviews can be found in these forums. 

happy trails and good luck

 new front tire and the rear is in great shape but i really want mags or alum. rims for it just for the plugability and low maintanance.
