Figures I would start a thread here to keep a log of my rebuild and maybe find a little motivation as well.
I picked up this 87 after doing some electrical work for a friend. Came with a uni filter, Cobra (?) exhuast and jetted to match. This is the only pic i have before i decided to dismantle the entire bike. I've rode 2 wheels all my life so this is a little new to me.
This is the cause of the slight knock. Amazing the it started and ran good with the motor in this condition.
Ordered a new crank (stock stroke) and a .020 wiseco piston. With the motor out I decided to clean up a little wiring, and do a few maintenance items. One thing led to another and I have a stripped frame ready to sand blast and repaint.
Plans are to paint the frame black, control arms red, new suspension bushings all the way around, Banshee shocks and a basic valve job, port and polish while its apart.
