Newby here. I've been lurking for a little while now and I figure I might as well show what I got. I bought the bike about 2 and a half months ago and it was already in Ok condition, but I still did a few things to it cosmetically to make her my own. She runs well, but has a few things that need to be addressed come winter time. I plan on taking the engine out of the frame and replacing the head gasket and whatever else needs tending to. The only issue I have right now is a poor starter or maybe even the rectifier. Can't really solve the problem. All I know is that my electronic push ignition is very unreliable. If she doesnt crank over the first or second time then I run the risk of draining the battery so I turn to the kick start before all hope is lost. Anywho. I look forward to being a part of this community in the future. Any criticism is welcome. Good or bad I dont mind. To each his own.   Anyways-- Here's the Pics

Cheers! JR

When I first got her



And the build begins. Took the tank and seat apart for paint while and cleaned up the frame and engine area to also be painted a mixture of matte and gloss black.
