I got this bike off of Moshman last summer. It's been sitting in the garage ever since. I finally got around to working on it this last week. The old girl needed some serious TLC.
I ended up adding new swingarm bearings, axle bearings, axle, pull start assembly, lower fender spats, kill switch, and all new brakes, cables, & levers front and rear.
I also added a set of Banshee hubs, spacers and wheels to the back of the bike. For summer riding I installed a 350X front wheel in the front. Those fat wheels are great for the snow, but pack instantly in the mud. I wanted to add the wheel spacers to add some stability for my wife, since she's the main rider of the bike.
She's in desperate need of a bath, but here's what it looks like.

The last picture is what it looked like last week!:beer

How wide are those wheel spacers?
Looks quite a bit wider than stock, you can see where the rust ends on the axle is where the old tires used to cover.

BTW, Derrick , looks good. Tell the wife to run hard at obstacles....not much ground clearance there!
