I figured I would just start up a new thread. Sporty motor was sure purdy, but after a better inspection it was just that.....purdy. It was way over advertised to the original owner who built the bike years ago..so I passed. So in the begining...this is how I found the poor girl,  A quick ride home..  After a much needed bath...  The teardown..   Stay tuned..)) | ||

I've seen that bike somewhere before. Do you know the history behind it? | ||
| K12pilot |
All I know about THIS ONE is it gave its heart for a chopper (( I found it in VA. And this bodywork is for sale. | ||

Very nice rescue!! Keep the thread alive with you progress!! I keep looking at the "as found" photo.... It's so sad that such great bikes get so trashed...very nice find, can't wait to see the finished product! | ||

Wow Chris! I never did care for those custom paint schemes, but with that demon blue frame it just works and pops out! It looks great just standing upright without the motor!!! | ||
