Since the photos won't upload, here's the story.
I have some friends with a junkyard to support their farming habit, somehow they ended up with four 650's for $100 at a scrap auction. One of the boys (a.k.a. 'Squish') got the '77 running but his wife won't let him ride it or somesuch. I might could broker a deal, but that's besides the point. Two other bikes are total junk, seized engines and the like. Then there was a 1980 Special with a King-n-Queen seat. It looked like it was just short of the air cleaner boxes, side covers, and a battery. Last summer I gave it a good inspection thinking I was going to put in some basic fixing and get it on the road with new tires and chain. Then I pulled the oil filter...
(stay tuned)
