This was my first roadbike. 28,011 miles on it. Since my 1125 is in the shop for likely an extended period,I dug this out of a shed at my parents house. Needs tires,battery,fresh gas--and I bet the old girl fires right up. It has been sitting since 2000, when I bought my Cyclone. Time has not been good to it but I think it will clean up quite nicely. There's always flat black barbeque paint  for parts that won't clean up!   | ||

Do yourself a favor and take the float bowls off. Clean the needle and seat. They'll stick on you if they've been sitting that long. Gas everywhere.... | ||

yea, its gonna need a lot of work, but my better half has put a claim on the bike. I'll bet the checkbook will be handed to me for this one,unlike the 1125 that i had to jump through hoops in order to buy presents for it... of course the pricetag for this one was $0, so I have no argument LoL | ||

Those were some really good motorcycles for their day...it needs to be back on the road. | ||

sure does Fast. I remember feeling like it was a superbike and being intimidated by the power back in the day! | ||

Cool bike, +1 Hootowl heck it will be a fun project though, and a some seafoam probably wouldnt hurt either once its running. I'm actually a bit envious | ||

I've nursed a few mid-70's Honda CB550's back to life. Learned the float bowl thing the hard way. Great bike for its time. | ||

Go ahead and Kreme treat the tank while your fixing her up, or you'll be taking the carbs apart for other reasons!! |
