Here she is, all finished. Bought it for $600 in Feb w/ 21k miles on it. from a wholesale lot. It had been sitting for a year outside. The before photo looks much better than it was... paint was thin and transparent in spots, tank was dented, bodywork cracked and scratched, windscreen opaque and spattered with housepaint... tires cracked and faded, chain totally rusted. After I dismanteled it, I found out whoever owned it before really messed her up bad. The rear license assembly was cut out with a hack saw or a sawz-all, and the front signals were in the back. The front had some cheap aftermarket signals not meant for this model, and the license plate was bolted to the frame... but to get it on it was bent all to @!#$ and the top portion was cut completely off.
Anyway, long story short... new windscreen, mirrors, signals (i'm getting integrated with the mirrors soon) sprockets (engine & rear), chain, heavy bodywork and paint, tires, cluth cable, K&N air filters (the original smog equip and airbox was gutted by captain sawz-all), and I welded a new license plate assembly that integrated the rear signals (not pictured)... all topped with light engine tuneup and carb dialing. I loved doing it, and total I think I spent $1300 including the initial purchase. Runs like no tomorrow! I've put about 3000 miles on it since July on various mid and long distance trips. Enjoy!
