76 SS project.Her we go.

I bought this bike a couple of weeks ago off c/l Cleveand.I bought her to getting running and resell.I'm starting to think maybe I sould keep it.12,000 miles."Ran when parked"I guess I belive the ex-owner.He had the bike 5 years and put under 800 miles on it.I'm hoping is just the carbs.I'll start on the carbs this weekend.Took her down a little to get a good cleaning/polishing on her.Gonna start on the body work tomorrow.It sure is cleaning up nice.Keep it?Sell it?Sell a cafe racer?Keep it!Ah hell I just dont know!!?Shiny Mike

Wow. Didn't take you long to get it sort of torn down. Let's hope it's just the carbs as well. Remember to check (or better yet, change) all the fluids (brake, oil, fork oil) and check all the cables (choke, throttle(s), brake). Let us know if we can help you more.

Oh...and welcome to the forum.
