Title: Slowly brining back an 86
Post by: Bearcat91 on February 12, 2017, 09:32:04 AM
Brought this ol girl home last weekend and started to tear it up this weekend. My dad bought it in 87 and this bike started my love for two wheels. 20k miles and sat since 2003. Plan is to go through the carbs, get rid of the air box, go through all the brake bits and clutch bits and anything else I run in to.
Started with fighting with the airbox with the rear sub frame swung down. The. Removed the carbs and STILL couldn't get it. Then I found the 3 screws on the right side of the air box to get to the filter...nice nest built in the air box.

Looks like you found some snacks to munch on while doing the restore...

Yuck. Well that will add to the tale you tell your grandkids. Is it running yet?
