Sounds like you were in the right place at the right time. Having the ability to work on a project (not a daily driver) makes it soooooooo nice!

So far ive had to buy a few new parts but the entire project (including the coors is well under 500.00 total including the cost of the bike)

WHAT DO YOU KIDS THINK.

For $500 as a runnin total, with the coors, it is getting even better. Nice stator cover, a little high in sugar though.
