put a space between each one, and you will have it perfect....LOL

boy am I nit picky.....

intake boots, carbs, air box

.

 

[Agemax]

also battery and battery box by the looks of the pics

 

[lorello]

yea wasnt sure if it had a starter motor or where exactly thats located.. found sum clened carbs on ebay for like 100 sum guy at a salvage offred me non clean carbs but all the hoses n clamps n bolts for 150... an about the air box cuz i was just lookin at sum pics on google and i seen alot of these bikes where the guys just put 2 of them little cone filters on instead of the box is this doable easyly or will it require modifications

 

[GateKeeper]

starter motor will be here, seems it's there as there are wires sticking out...

 

[lorello]

thank you.. so gotta buy one of these carbs and hook it up n an air box looks like it be easier to put them cone filters on but when i looked at pics of air boxes they have hoses comin out n not sure exactly what there for.. hopfully after that the motor will turn gotta hook up the electrical probloy gonna be a pain

 

[GateKeeper]

get the service manual from BassCliffs web site it will help you a whole lot.....

cone filters require jetting, stock air box does not, start stock first, then move on from there if you want to.

if you get old carbs, you will need to strip them down, clean them properly, get new O rings and reassemble, only way to make sure they will work correctly.

you will need to go through your electrical as well, make sure it's all good and clean and ends have some di-electric grease, all the hacked points are inspected and done correctly...

I would suggest you start a build/project thread at this time.....

post pictures as you go along, the rest of us can follow, and assist with your questions as they come up....

Cheers

Welcome.
Slow down....You have some (alot) of work ahead of you. Spend some time here reading and teaching yourself about your bike. You are missing some very significant parts and pieces.
Tell us where you are, city and state, there may be someone closeby to have a look and perhaps lend a hand.

 

[lorello]

to larry.... i kno im missing carbs and the air box and battery other then that the rest of the motor seems to be there what other siginficant parts do u think are missing

 

[GateKeeper]

start a build thread

 

[terrylee]

Looks as though you're missing large metal plate that should be on left side that holds the solenoid, r/r and maybe turn signal flasher. It mounts under where the side cover should hide it, and a bolt or two that holds it in place should screw into your missing airbox. terrylee

 

[lorello]

yea thats there just not boltet in layin down above where the battery goes looks like all the selinoids and stuff on it thanks for the good eye tho.. im alset right now thanks to you guys ima work on gettin carbs and the air box and then ill letcha kno the next hurdle i hit
