Hey everyone. I want to share with you alittle project i started on a very very low budget. I picked up this bike for $600 bucks. It ran, but very poorly, it had sat for 5 years and accually started on the 5 yr old gas! The bowls leaked but everything was there and worked. Here is what she looked like when i first got her in the driveway.
Since than i have pulled the rusty tank, the gummed up carbs. I used some vinegar and salt to clean the inside of the tank for rust, and stripped the paint off as well, there is a few dents i need to fix up too. Then i removed the rusty baffles from the exhaust and threw on some drag bars!!
I sent the tank over to my local honda dealership to fix a recall of the stock gas cap release so they gave me a new cap and locking latch. I pulled the bowls off the carbs and cleaned it all up and installed new gaskets in the bowls too. After i got my tank back i put new gaskets in my petcock and reinstalled that, threw the tank back on the bike and fired it up!

I will dig into that later when i have a chance. I will have lots of pictures up soon of my progress from removing the seat and the gauges, along with removing the rear fender! let me know what u think.
