When i got this fantastic ride it had a windshield and cloth seat and still had the original side panels, thats it. I added the sissy bar, saddle bags and side panels. I was "GIVEN" this bike by a friend who left state and could not take it with him. The bike was in a shop because it wouldnt start for him, the shop was going to charge him 1000$ to fix. I took the bike home and hit the start button to see what was going on. The starter spun right up so i checked the starter clutch. There was no starter clutch! The bike was missing other stuff from that side too, like engine mount nuts and washers. I called the shop and asked them if they had my parts lying around, the guy put the phone down and looked, when he came back he said he didnt have any parts for my bike. My buddie said the bike would turn over but not start (turns out the choke cable was broke). I knew it went into the shop with all its parts but didnt come out. Whatever 80 bucks on ebay and ive got my starter clutch, put all new fluids and greases in, quick fixed the choke cable and it fired right up. Did i mention it was sitting in a garage for 10 years untouched? Awsome, took it for a short easy ride and parked it, got the hole saw and beefy drill out and hollowed out the pipes except for the very back passageway with the 4 quarter sized holes in it. Recently I put the seat cover on and degreased the engine. The seat cover is actually a 20 dollar car seat cover that i bought about 8 years ago. Ive done a little work on the carbs, cleaned the jets and float bowl and the top half, the jets were done out of necessity when i was stuck on the side of I-5 in Lynnwood. Anyway my hands hurt sooo... later everyone!
