I could only dig up a photo of the version with molded in turnsignals on a Beemer. The lowers are attached in the pic.

Thanks for the offers of help and a place to "store" it guys.

I'm going to be picking it up today after the "breakfast club" get-together.
The warden still doesn't know about it....yet! :whistle:

Any ideas on how long I'll be breathing after she sees me unloading that rust-bucket into the driveway? :pinch:

Basically what I got is a rolling rust heap with quite a bit of oxidation on the motor - it looks to have been sitting unused for a very looooong time! :ohmy:

KZJohn is going to stop by later today for a B-B-Q, and we'll likely go over it and see if it can be made a runner w/out throwing to much money at it.

All I really want from it is the Vesco fairing and the Kerker (both will be useable after a little TLC), the bike itself will going to Rose as her first project bike. :woohoo:

Sometime this weekend I'll start a project thread with pics and info on which direction Rose is planning on going with it.
