Well I just got back from the 5 hour drive to pick it up. And after looking for one of these for 3 years, that I could afford, I can't wait to get started!
I am going to start taking things apart tonight but I had a few questions.
The bike has a title but no key. The motor is locked up and even if I get it to turn over I don't have a key. I would guess that there is a workaround for that but I don't know what it is.
Also, I want to start clearing the clutter but I am not sure what to cut out and what to leave. I have seen the wiring diagrams but I am wondering if I am better off starting from scratch? Can someone explain what should be left and what should be removed at this point. It sounds like, either way, the motor is going to get torn down and I want the bike as bare bones as possible. Do I just strip it all?
