I have been asking lots of questions about this bike, and now that it is halfway disassembled it qualifies as a project.
It looked pretty good when I got it home, but a ride around the neighborhood revealed the problems with the clutch, break and suspension. It was also running really rich and the petcock is leaking.
I also have found some crash damage. The handlebars, centerstand, left footpeg, turn signal mounts and left fork ear were all bent. So now I have pulled it apart and am cleaning up the pieces and getting ready to put it back together.
Things I have addressed so far: Petcock, gas cap, new shocks, new tires, repaired fork ear, and disassembly and cleaning of parts.
Still to do: New handle bar, replace centerstand and foot peg bracket, tach cable, uni air filters, tear down and clean carbs, tear down and clean master cylinder and caliper, new brake lines, new fork seals.
I have probably spent a couple of hundred dollars so far on little rubber pieces and screws.
Now I just need to put it back together.
I hope to get through it over the next month, so please wish me luck.
