Well got this bike from a kid that owed me for doing a tune up on his other bike, I think I got a decent deal out of it ahaha.

Have stripped it a bit. Would like to find some aggressive dual sport tires for it as I have a 5 mile commute to work on a gravel road. Have found a nice smaller tank off of a honda xl 70 I am going to fit to the bike.

Plan on making it a fun to ride and look at bike.

This seems like a fun project. I would like to do something like it for my wife to use on our gravel roads and prairie trails. Have fun with it.

Have been havin carb issues, the bowl on the bottom is literally dissolving. So I mounted a bigger carb flange on the bike and put a mikuni VM30 on it. Good bye you piece of crap Keihin!

you might want to check your local laws before using those ape hangers, I think there is a certain height above the seat that you can use. of course this is the states and that is Canada.
