Hi all,
I'm finally ready to start posting reports of me and my son's progress for this build.
The story with this bike is that I bought it wrecked. It wasn't too badly damaged. Some the bodywork was damaged but a friend of mine repaired it. So I have, I think, all of the fairings and associated pieces and parts to hold it in place ... And I will not be using any of it. I will post some pics of these parts soon.
Anyway, regretfully, the bike did have to spend a couple of years outside and the plastic cover did get blown off a few times. The desert sun and the wind out here did it's damage.
So finally my son inspired me to begin the rebuild and so here we are and we have plans for this bike. It's not going to look very different from it's original look but I think that many of you out there have already seen these bike transformed into something else. .... I'm always afraid insulting the purist's out there but it's my bike and I can destroy it if I want to. I have no intention of destroying this bike I plan on reviving it from the dead.
I think I have just inserted an image. I'll check then continue.
