I got a key made from a guy on the web that I heard about on this sight. Got the seat off old battery out and air filters off. Hooked up a big battery charger to it and the electric starter works.Shoot some ether in it and it fired. Cool lets remove the carbs holy &@$)&$ #%)_+% what a pain.

So you asked what the plan. After a lot of thinking I have decided to tear it apart. Thought about just cleaning the carbs put tires on it and ride. BUT NOOOOOOOOOOO. I can't do that . I have to sink tons of money into to it. Spend 20 grand on a 3 grand bike.
Keep us up to date on the build.

so here we go
- Are you sure? You could get at least $200 for it and save yourself a lot of money and a lot of time and hard work.

Working on the bike today. Filling up the box with parts. I will not want the parts laying around. if anyone wants them ALL let me know. I will tell y'all what I keep. I will not send out just one part . All or nothing. If you want it shipped we will have to work that out. i am north of Atlanta GA towards Chattanooga.
