Here's an image of it on the way home:
NOTE: I'm busy/lazy/etc, so this will prob be a slow thread, but the dream would be to get it done over the winter! Of course, given it's the SF bay area, aside from some rain I could ride it all winter long, so the sooner it gets moving the better :V
What the bike needs:
- Carburetor + Air box (yep, the whole thing) - prev prev owner left them out to dry, didn't realize it was trash day, and whoops someone recycled his carbs >_<
- New battery
- new keys - I already got a couple spares made from the existing cylinders- faster than re-keying the whole bike
- gas tank bolts (front bolt + rear seat clip thing)
- fairing + windscreen bolts/fixes - some of the fairing bolts have popped thru the plastic, looks like the bike went down at low speed (mild scuffing, but only on plastic), and all the windscreen bolts/rivets have sheared off somehow? screen isn't cracked tho
- rust inside the fuel tank - looks like mostly crud/surface rust, gonna give the electrolysis method a shot
- tires - this bike hasn't been reg'd/ridden since 2000(!) definatly don't trust these tires for anything
- general maintenance/full fluid replacements + flushes
- Exhaust burn on seat
- New chain/sprockets - look in decent condition, but will lube up and see how it goes around the block
- repaint? the yellow is kinda growing on me, i won't lie
- some kind of rear rack/box/etc would be nice for commuting
