These old bikes are tougher than u think.Mine sat in pieces in a shed for 20 plus years.Took me a couple of years to get it all together, but when I did,put oil in it,put gas in it and hit the go button,it started up first time.Didnt run too good but it ran.Good luck with yours.bj

You were absolutely right! once I pieced it all together and I remembered to turn the choke on, it fired up after only turning over twice! it's been so long since it ran that the first few puffs of exhaust blew rust from the inside of the can into the garage haha And it ran very well it was F*%$#N awesome!:woohoo:

I appreciate all the help on this thread guys!

I got the swingarm back from the fabricator yesterday. After a lot of stress and struggle with them it turned out with a decent result. Not clean by any means but definitely functional. Everything is a success. The bike runs great and it is road worthy now!

I turned it over to the true owner after building it bad up for him and he loves it. The only problem is, I like his bike more than I like the bike I did for myself haha.

Thanks for the help guys.
