New guy 87 Hurricane
Just picked me up an 87 Hurricane 600. It's a little rough around the edges but with the addition of a new battery it runs and idles just fine. Needs a new chain and the rear tire is all out of whack, I'm not even sure how the guy was riding it. I went up in size from a 250 ninja but it isn't the largest bike I've ridden just the largest I've owned. I'm looking forward to getting it up and running so I can keep my car in the garage where it belongs.

RE: New guy 87 Hurricane
Welcome to the forum, Sal. Hope you get your bike taken care of, we love the older bikes here. Post up some pictures when you can, even if you haven't fixed her up yet. Would be a good beginning to a before and after thread.

RE: New guy 87 Hurricane
I sure will post photos soon. The bike is at a buddy's house since he has a garage and tool box. I'm not sure about the body panels but I know the bike has been laid down. The aftermarket exhaust that is on it has a cracked weld but If all I need is a battery, chain, and the exhaust re-welded I think the $800 price is good for a bike with two practically new tires ( less than 2k miles on them)
I want to get it running and safe to take to the dragon since I'm less than 2 hours away via back roads

RE: New guy 87 Hurricane
The battery wasn't charging. So I took off the fairings to check the rectifier since the Previous owner said he replaced the stator already. Turned out to be a bad battery. I'll be putting it all back together tomorrow. I need to do an oil change and get a new chain on the bike.
