Hahahah!

Ordering now! Haha.

Sorry, been on a week long ride through Idaho on the Indian😉. Then work punished me for taking vacation, haha. Finally got back in the shop to investigate the rear wheel lock up...pretty self explanatory judging from the picture. Sheared drum! Probably from the friction material seperating long...

Will do, stay tuned!

Now for the bad news! Haha. Was out ripping around having a blast test riding before I start trusting it to get back and forth to work. Anyways, I round a corner, give it some throttle, up around 40mph. Then, hear a loud bang and the rear wheel locks up....like REALLY locked up! I skid to stop...

So, been busy getting the 81 legal and safe for the summer. Just too fun to ride to rip apart while the weather is still good. Fitted the exhaust from the 80, as well as a speedo swap, fluid, filter, and strainer changed. Also found a duct tape free old seat for cheap in the classifieds here...

Hey guys got new thread-serts installed, leaked a tad but held enough compression to get a decent reading. Thanks again for the help!

Ya, I bet I can work it off the plug thread. Thanks for confirming.

Holy crap guys! Just found another oneo_O. Saw it come up for sale this morning on the ol interweb and pounced. She's a 79 special I believe. 13k on the tac and seems to have compression, got high hopes for this engine. Think I have enough to keep me busy for awhile now....at least that's what...

Scored another '81 motor, also low compression :doh:. Whatever, I'll take it. Gonna try my hand at a rebuild this summer and leave the bike intact till winter. I'm sure I'll have questions once I crack this thing open!

Thanks guys! It's gonna be fun!

Haha, ya, more duct tape than seat left!

Hey guys! New here! Just picked up this '81 bute. Plan is a full rebuild, possible brat or tracker. Low compression now, but nothing a big bore and picking your brains won't fix! Much more to come! Till then, Cheers! And ride safe!
