Well It has begun this will probably take years to complete as I dont have any $$$$$
1st step Im going to make is getting a kick starter and spindle,This thing does run :shock: I want to get it running so I can find all the leaks so I can order gaskets and or rebuild motor it has been rebuilt once by a 15 year old (no disrespect to our younger members)but this guy did it back asswards I remember him mentioning studs breaking during the process.
Monday I check on a rolling chassis.
frame has just about every bolt hole stripped.
needs all motor mounts+nuts+bolts.
needs exhaust,seat pan+seat,rear mst cyl,front mst cyl,front caliper.
all brake lines+resivoirs...etc...etc...etc...
I know the front wheel in on backwards :-D too

Not only is the front tire on backwards but the forks are backwards too. It should be a leading axle. I have an 85 frame that I can check out and the internal kickstarter parts you need. I will be going through my parts tomorrow to sort out the junk and put the rest on Ebay. If you are interested pm me and I will tell you all that I have and give you a great package deal. :-D

Mine were big turd too when I started them. I'll go thru my stuff tommorow too. I know I have a engine skidplate MR ATC sent me 5 of them. and I have footpegs and maybe the levers. I also may have the oem bars too. The engine mounts are the toughest to find. the 2 spacers on the front you can get from service honda still. like I said I'll go through my stuff and see what I got. have fun!!

motor mounts are the easiest part, they are really easy to make yourself all you need is a little bit of 1/4" flat metal stock and a template and there you go, any welding shop can make them for you cheap..... then you can paint them what ever color you wish... good luck
