gotta love it when they rattlecan the bodywork while its still on the bike and dont bother masking anything off...
unfortunately, I see stuff like this every day...guys bring their rattletraps in with 15-20 problems, but they only want the one thats keeping them from riding fixed. Im lucky if I dont break some rigged shit in the process, too.
and yes, we make fun of the owner while those bikes are in the shop

T329- just say your earlier post!!- Good find--(I hope)
It's not as bad as it looks. Just the bodywork is Ratty.
It just needs a carb service and the gas tank restored to get running.

You should do a proper write up when you tackle this, with step by step photos and explanations
Nate, you haven´t seen the inside of the engine yet
If it looks half as bad as the general condition of the bike, the PO might have split the crankshaft in two. Or maybe he fixed a broken piston with duct tape and zip ties. You never know!
Good luck cleaning that bitch.

I used to have some stuff that came as a kit. First was a mild acid that cleaned the inside of the tank, second was a sealer that filled in any pinholes and coated the inside of the tank. Wish I could remember the name of it. It wasn't very expensive, maybe $30. Probably an auto restoration site would have something similar.
I will be curious what the engine oil looks like, tapioca pudding?

I've seen lots of jury rigging in my life but that tail unit repair using a large cotter pin reminded me of my days working on a farm when "that will do" was the principle people lived by.
Is it just me or is the airbox really off-center?

Airbox is straight. I was standing at an angle when I tried to get the overhead pic.I've seen lots of jury rigging in my life but that tail unit repair using a large cotter pin reminded me of my days working on a farm when "that will do" was the principle people lived by.

I'm going to get one of those compressed air keyboard dusters and see if I can get all of that dirt out of the tail section.
