    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.

    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.

Yoshie exhaust with a wee bit of rust. Buff right out. $200.00 purchase price! The mulit color lichen on the tank was a real selling point. An "Organic GS" . Aged 8 years!:onthego::biggrin::biggrin: Set for the next project...

A 250 gallon Evaporust dip and she will be good as new ;)
Good challenging project. I've learned a sandblaster , paint and polish can take things along way. I see potential or a ton of parts.
Organic he says.....lol
 
Holy crap ! It's the silver one. { the fastest and definitely bestest one } If you've got the bottom tab on those side covers a few strategically placed rare earth magnets will cinch them up nicely...........

Hey!!! What's wrong with blue snd white? It's easy Charlie, just take it apart, clean everything and put it back together.
Oh yeah, I forgot, add a bunch of cash for missing and worn out stuff.

Yes this one is in pretty rough shape. It's going to have to be gone through pretty thoroughly. I just hope the tank is not rusted out like yours was.

On the trailer, right? :confused:

I mean, you don't get a runner for $200, or did you?

It wasn't even a roller. The front forks were locked at an angle and the rear disc was frozen. No brakes either....Yes on the trailer:wink:

Backed up to the drive ready to unload. In the event I get this bike all put together and polished up nice I thought I would record the fine condition it is in.

The only one willing to help unload.

The dam thing won't move. The rear wheel in froze. Caliper froze. The PO pushed while I steered the bike on my truck. The fellow didn't tell me the wheel was froze? He must have really wanted to sell this thing.

Very artistic Charlie, too bad it's on your bike :D congrats on the purchase though, I'm thinking you must have done some fall cleaning in the garage and found a hole somewhere. Looking forward to the build thread.
 
Charlie, that deer is just waiting for you to walk away so it can lick all that yummy lichen off your bike. That could easily be the start of the restoration. It'll be all nice and shiny in the morning.
