I've finally been able to get back to getting my ol girl back on the road so I thought I would post in the resto section in the hopes that some or any of this could be useful to folks. I've already gone thru about 60% of the bike, mostly simple things, like spline lube, mounting new tires, rebuilding the seat, cleaning the starter motor and alternator, LED light kit and ventilation in the instrument cluster, brake caliper rebulid, and very modest re-finishing where required like the centerstand and battery compartment. The download section and the members of this board have been a huge help with all this and I simply wouldn't have been able to do it without these resources so kudos to Bert and all you fine members!
Anyway, the bike has a fuel delivery problem, way rich, which was one of many reasons why I was able to get her at a very cheap price so I will be concentrating on going thru the fuel system from tank to engine as per Bert's flow sheet, and I'm sure some other small things will be posted as well as one thing usually, Ok always, leads to another.
