Getting her home and more-in-depth look + fairing dismantle...
So after getting the dealer to prove she ran, I paid the 900$. My first plan was to get her home- driving approx 200mi to Reno. On the summit, it began to rain and snow.
That was fun!
Also at this point, I felt it better to remove all of the fairing. I liked the travel cases and was against chopping the frame. Its from a bygone era and does not suit what I have in mind for her. I also purchased a Zanadu headlight that I liked and pretty much got for free when I picked her up. I also bought a handlebar switch and clutch lever assembly on Ebay- it was missing.
The fairing was cracked and broke further as I was removing it.
Problems:
- Oil Pan/Sump covered in oil + Unknown leaks
- Broken Engine Breather tube and Fuel lines (plus they were very hard and ridged)
- Seat and the tires are old and cracked
- Buttons (Both handlebars) are sticky and non-responsive
(Also this was that problem I encountered later on when the engine wouldn't start- it was because the starter button was assembled in-correctly)
I knew at this point I was going to replace almost everything that had some sort of wear on it and the rubbers...
But I wanted to do this, this is fun to me
