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.
well after all this time it got it tore down and blasted ready for fresh color! I screwed up though and had the aluminum wheels sand blasted, not sure how i can make them come out nice now...
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.
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.
