Hi guys : ) ! If you have seen my previous posts or know me on here, you know that I was having trouble getting a spark plug thread out of the engine. Super headache : (. Im happy to say that I finally got it out!!
Before, I was frustrated that I couldn't figure out some stuff and I said some some. In the past. With some careful research, patience and prayer, I was able to make a lot of progress on my bike. I still have a lot to do, but I know how to address the bikes problems better.
I have done some basic things to get the bike running but I still need to clean the carbs, change the oil, and connect the battery. I put a new filter in her but I lost the drain bolt so I'll buy one from the parts store. I'm trying to build a low budget cafe racer so I need to buy some cafe style handle bars and fabricate a cafe seat. I've seen some great threads on making a cafe seat on here. I wont be modding the frame or putting pod filters on the carbs, tho. I like the frame how it is and I've read that pod filters don't really improve performance.
I'm praying I don't have to rebuild the engine. The odometer says 5,136 miles so I hope that's close to what it has on it. I do want to change the tires, brakes, and shocks eventually. Other than that, I'll have this bike running in no time.
