Vintage bike restoration, but what is it?

#1
Started tearing down this old bike to take to the sand blaster for refinishing. Goign to start the slow restoration process. Im trying to figure out what it is however. I was a $20 special i picked up, to add to the collection. I have the other fork part,
its just soaking in WD40 since its seized. 21122363_10209704924768920_2598139870404448666_o.jpg 21083217_10209704912768620_2748178949742254092_o.jpg 21105897_10209704916248707_5479198259440889504_n.jpg

Chose a metallic blue color for the frame. replaced the for springs and have new chrome fenders and seat shocks on their way.
Decided to install a 5hp flatehat to stay somewhat period specifiy and avoid the predator swaps. going with a slightly different seat however,
but still with the leopard print. Seller on ebay makes them. 22042000_10209907190785444_1396537212621201133_o.jpg 21765088_10209907191265456_4746582913265340376_n.jpg 21994207_10209907191585464_4036265703221789865_o.jpg 21950884_10209907826281331_2551160348807836989_o.jpg s-l1600 (1).jpg

I reall wanted to use my GC160 on it, but im not a good enough welder to make a manifold for the Mikuni. I will be revisiting this idea and probably having my machinist TIG it for me. I lovk the look with out the shroud.
