Here is my latest score.
http://s904.photobucket.com/albums/ac245/bobo_snyder/bigred/
It is an 82 Big Red with a 85 200M (I think) front end. Needs a lot of work to be pretty again but it is running good right now.
So far I have rebuilt the carburetor, fixed all the brakes and brake cables, fixed the choke cable, replaced the exhaust, replaced one of the brake levers, and fixed a few little odds and ends.
What is next up is to replaced the seat covering, fix a lot of the wiring like the headlights/taillight, put a new key switch assembly, and generally clean it up. I will probably just repair the 2 rear fenders, they have cracks but they aren't huge but they need to be reinforced or they will split bad.
I have a spare jug and top end for the trike, I wonder if I should rebuild that just to have a complete jug/top end? How much would that run me approx?
Also I have a spare 85 200M frame and rear end. Not much left of the 200m other than the rear end, should I salvage that or just junk it? The frame actually is in good shape, has less rust than my Big Red. If I really wanted to get frisky, is it possible to put all my drive train parts into the 200m since its frame is quite cleaner than my Big Reds?
