Yeah, it's been a while.
But my kids have grown up, and I finally have time to work on my 1978 SE. I feel like she's been around for a while, and she still runs, but there's just something about her that I'd like to spruce up.
Goals for her are hazy (which is dangerous, I know), but they're also modest. New paint. Upgrade brakes and suspension. She already has a Pamco ignition, and good electrics. But when I got her, the stock exhaust was rotted completely through, and then repaired with body filler.
So it's an R/R/R project. Remove, Repair, Replace. And I'd be pretty happy if the final version looked at all like the beauty from this thread: http://www.xs650.com/threads/my-79-street-tracker-build.5734/
