Kind of a newbie...
« on: December 23, 2008, 07:46:28 PM »
I've been hanging around here a couple of months now and this site is a wealth of info. And that's good because I'm going to need allot with a couple of projects I got coming up.
Anyway thanks for all the help so far. Here's a few pics of my daily driver I picked up last fall. Pulled it out of the guy's garage, blew off the dust, poured a gallon of gas he had for his lawn mower in the bike and kicked it off. Ran great even before I tuned it up. I was going to strip it down to a bare bike but decided to leave it dresses for long trips with the wife and build a stock one for fun.

Bike looks to be in fine shape.  Only thing that bugs me a bit (ok aside from the Lazyboy seat) is the angle on the hard bags, looks like they need to be rotated a few degrees forward.  Just an aesthetics thing I suppose.

Bike looks great!!

I agree on the bags, but they still fit the overall look of the bike. Very nice.
