I decided to replace the fuel line today (one I had in there was kinked going around the carb). Did this in a mall parking lot. 150 from home. While wearing leathers.

Good times.

Rob, that bike is the twin sister of mine, very original, good find.

My old girl is 25 this year, I think a wee party might be appropriate?

yup its very original baring the exhaust
alas its not mont its a 10 yard bike (as in it looks ok from 10 yards away lol )
but its a cheap way for me to get back on 2 wheels after a 5 year lay off

Default the 87 project begins

pulled plastics , tank , cut chain off

left to do , fork seals, go though carbs again, sprockets
some body repair (87 upper cowl is one flimsy piece of work)
and paint - new tires - reseal tank this weekend

Funny people said no bigger than a 160 rear tire on a mark 1
This bike has a 170 on it for what appears to be years and
it absolutely fits inside the rear tire hugger

Is the wheel standard for an 87 Sprock?
