Team,
I keep trudging on with my first restore. What I thought was a complete, possible running motorcycle, instead is a somewhat complete motorcycle which the previous rider mucked up as much as possible in 25,000 miles. Non-metric bolts, no jet in one carb,
Looking for suggestions for the exhaust. It has the typical pitted chrome, seems to be structurally sound except one spot. Shorter exhaust pipe has burned area where exhaust mates with engine. Same pipe has about 1/8 inch of soot on the inside (tells me the carb is afu). I'll look for a welder who can weld in a large washer for a mating surface. What about the chrome? What are my options?
