yea, get down and dirty as Bc says, each area can be tackled modular so its not too daunting, if the engine runs ok, leave it and tittivate it up.
concentrate on the cycle parts, look at other bikes and see what can fit, scour ebay etc etc.
i was thinking about this the other day drewpy. i was like "i could do the footpeg mounts and lets say.... the kickstarter in one night, and thatd be a good chunk of it" and looking at it the frame would probably take me one night to do.
the engine has corrosion on it, then id like to shoot it with black paint when im all finished with it, as the base is already black and thatll get taken off with the grinding or such. best idea to leave it in the frame or take it out and sandblast it? or leave it in and sandpaper it? my concern is getting in between the cooling fins, the sandblaster would be top dog for that, but also lifting it off the frame and into my car is my other concern lol.
i already have a laundry list of parts i need, and also a list of parts to make it into a tracker. things like the pegs and modding the exhaust note
