Talking Ford ?? !!!

87 with 16k miles needing TLC - picked her up today


Been sitting in a garage for two years - turns over - no run - fires on ether
suspect electric fuel pump is bad.

needs

seat cover
left clutch lever
left peg bracket
left fair repair
Battery / potentially R/R
2 new tires
chain
Paint dings

This one stays 100% stock - too cute to mess with

Thanks Pete, making a few more discoveries with it.

The P/O has the wrong brake pads on it - seems he ground down some
cheap pads to fit - rear rotor/disk is done. ..........

Found out the Paint code is 'PB187M' which translates to WinterLake Blue Metallic
Now I just got to find a local shop to mix me up a quart.

What's the plan man? I see that your bagging a single pipe ('93?) or still fitting heat shield. '90 on lift? What's the plan? My guess is '90 for day rider, '93 bagged and ready for over the road and the Ford with big rear sprocket for hole shots and fetching milk,.

OK I'm willing to make a fool of myself.

Why Ford???

Nice bike BTW, almost as nice as a black and red 87.
