Here is a link to my intro thread to the forums that has some info on my bike:
So far, I made sure it will run and took it apart with only the engine left in the frame. I then reassembled the front end and attached the rear wheel assembly so I could move it around.
I cut a section off the frame to shorten it a bit for a cleaner cafe look when finished and have gone through the wiring to fix the Jerry rigs that have been put in place over the years. That's about it other than discovering my tank is not going to be usable. I tried cleaning the rust out but the rust in the bottom is just too thick for the chemicals to remove it. The rest of the inside looks clean now but when I flush it there is a never ending stream of tiny particles of rust that comes out.
I need to get current pics of the bike to post but it doesn't look much different than this:
there's no gauges or brakes on it but that's pretty much the only difference from the pic.
