    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Picked this beauty up about a month or so ago. She was sitting out in the elements for approx. 4-5 years so I've got plenty to keep me busy for awhile! So far I've pulled the tank, carbs, and air box and cleaned them up. Rebuilt the carbs and fuel peacock after removing old gummed up fuel. Cleaned some minor rust out of the fuel tank. Drained the old oil and replaced. Drained the water out of the secondary gear and replaced that oil, lol. After that we had some starting circuit issues so I bypassed that to make sure my motor wasn't seized up. Good to go. Found the contacts inside the start button and ignition kill switch corroded so those got cleaned. Starting circuit is good now so I'm moving on to the ignition circuit next. Might get to fire it up in the next couple weeks!

from the looks of that picture, I hope you got it really, really, really cheap. Like in "here, I'll give you $50 to haul it off my property".

But really, welcome to the site and keep us posted as the work progresses. I would think with some proper TLC, you could have yourself a very fine touring machine. Good luck.
