Figured I should post here.

Since I've been posting in the general forums!!!

Picked this up for $100...





The bad

PO is waiting for duplicate title.  Applied for it in July.  If we can't get a title, I guess I start parting it out.

Engine may be bad.  It kicked over when I was looking at it, then once or twice in my garage.  Now it won't.  I can turn it about 200 deg using the nut on the end of the crankshaft.  Then it kind of gets stuck.  I'm in denial of the fact that I'm going to have to remove\disassemble the engine.

The good

Winter is coming so I'll have a lot of time
I've got a blast cabinet
I've got a powder coating gun

Well, if this bike doesn't work out, at least I should learn enough to make the next one easier!!!

Here's the bike today...


Already this forum has been helpful.  Hopefully I can return the favor.

Keep the shiny side up!!!

Welcome!

You can hardly go wrong for $100.  You can part it out and make back way more than that, if necessary.  Looks to be fairly complete and mostly original.
