This is a bike that was dumped on its side, broke a few things, sat in someone's garage for 7 years at least (yes, with fuel in the carbs), wasn't charging, wouldn't even turn on (with a good battery), with no front brake, busted speedometer, had 0 working turn signals or brake lights and in general was in a very poor scrap-yard shape. But hey, it had two good like-new tires. And I was promised that the engine is in good shape and compression readings proved to be good. I could not help myself, the price was right (close to free) and I am a sucker for fixing broken things. So I hooked up the trailer and went to go get her to give her a better home.
She does not look too bad in the pictures. But you know the saying: she looks good from far but FAR from good.
Lots of stuff on this bike was broken and busted. And again, 0 power with the key on. Which still did not deter me.
Here are a few pictures of her in her initial state.
I will be adding posts to this thread as I fix more things and install more new parts.
But in the meantime, the running project name is McQueen1 because this will be a scrambler, an homage to Steve McQueen's motorcycles.
