Cleaning up the lines

jordan · Jan 16, 2012

Just ordered new exhaust gaskets, fork gaiters, turn signals, taillight/plate and im getting ready to cut the mufflers off and put on some straight pipes, cut the rear frame and slide the rear fender up a bit, cut the seat down and recover it. Will post pics as i get stuff done. not sure if it's going to be a cafe/tracker/whatever, Just love these UJM's but hate the cheesy bits.

A little progress. the first pic is how she looked when I got her, the last two are of how she sits now. mild fender bob, cut the cans off the rear shocks and took a wire brush to the crankcase. Purrs like a kitten too.
