Sounds like a fun what the hell, let’s try project... be careful with the jumpers. Don’t use a running vehicle or you will fry stuff.

We still need pics of the swamp thing.

Glen this mud puppy was in post #4, just a wee bit smaller.

I like the paint scheme. Keep up the good work, nothing more satisfying than bringing them back from the dead.

I overlooked that somehow. Heck, it even has some plastic intact. Cool.

I know it's missing the right and left side covere... but what about the front fairing?
Is that it? Or is it missing a lower plastic set up front?

Have you dumped the oil to see if water comes out?

Seriously, if it's been underwater, the bottom end is toast.

Not necessarily! My GSXR750 had the plugs left out by the PO. I too thought the bottom end would be toast! Not so! After draining the oil and about 2 pints of water, stripping the motor down, t all looked brand new! Go figure!

holy hell the seat has no tear in the fake seam near the tank and its blue!
that alone would fetch a c note or more from a purist in need.

Way to go! This is what happens when someone basically throws away a good motorcycle. Or was it a flood victim? Anyway it’s a lot of fun to resurrect a dead to the world motorcycle. Keep posting.
