So this is my first go at this kind of project, I used to rebuild dirtbikes and such when I was younger, but I wanted to make sure I actually got this thing going before I made a thread considering I am very skilled at never finishing anything.
Anyway, bought a '72 xs2 for $800 in Denver and hauled it home. Doesn't run, but has compression, no seat and a fiberglass tracker tank that leaks like a sieve. Alot off that part were just hand tight on it like the guy may have thrown the pieces on from his garage floor right before I got there. He had never ridden it either. I didn't really realize I didn't have the best working space until I got home and started spreading everything out. But Im going for a flat tracker vintage kind of look and I have about no clue what Im doing. I already appreciate the help I have gotten. Heres my first pic.
