I bought a donor bike from a storage lot, (junkyard) and tore it down.
I cleaned and inspected and rebuilt all the parts i thought I could use.
The $600 dollar Kerker exhaust was trashed, and the bottom of the exhaust tubes were smashed flat
from hitting something or a forklift.
I wired brushed the part after cleaning off  grease then put the steel rusty parts in phosphoric acid.
The next day I painted the part to protect it from corrosion.
Here is a photo of the bike in the "storage yard".

I wanted to add photos - seems like there has to be a line of text first.

I stripped the frame,gas tank and battery holder box to bare metal.

This is the gas tank. 33 years old -no dents!!! Did not come with the bike.

Spent two weeks cleaning grease and paint from the engine.

I modified the frame to fit a Cafe seat made for a 1980 Honda
because it had more of a curve to it. The cafe seats up to 1976 were flat as a board.
