my $400.00 bike and 1 and 1/2 years of work
i bought this bike for $400., it was a wrecked bike, brought it home in pieces. this is my first bike, other than dirt bikes. the bike sat outside behind a house in weeds and leaves for 8 months. i knew very little about bikes, but knew this one was mine. threw it in the back of a friends truck, 3 main pieces, a scull cup full of rusty bolts, part of the the windshield, and whatever i could salvage combing through the grass. i put the wreck in the back shed, and started taking all the broken pieces from the bike, identifying, ordering, researching, and learning. i took me a year in a half, form plastic welding all the fairings, cowl, wet sanding the paint off the motor until i could see myself in it, all that is shining was painted. i stripped the bike, and went through it piece by piece. i went from no knowledge, to where i can work on it with my eyes closed. the people on this site helped me through some issues. in return i wanted to share what patience and a little hard work can get you. from pulling the leaves and grass out of it, to final paint, hope you enjoy the picture. i love to know what people think, and if i am able to help anyone with any problems, i would enjoy returning the favor. this is a great site.
