Finally got some more work done on this bike. Got the wiring and the controls mostly finished. I still need to fix #1 and #2 carbs cuz they're leaking/overflowing, but I've got parts on the way. I need to paint it and put on some air cleaners, and also put on a taillight. I'll post more pics soon.

Man this was hard. Chem stripped 3 times, wire wheeled twice. Finally down to bare metal. Now I can spray paint it haha.

I know over here modern paint stripper is not a patch on the old stuff. Without all the nasty chemicals in, stuff like petrol tanks take ages.

Just sold it. It needed a clutch cuz the old one froze in our recent heavy rains. I didn't wanna do any more to it anyway, I'm tryna slim down for my big Arizona move. Here's a couple final pics. It was fun to build. I wanna build another someday, if I can find a clean bike to start with.

You’ll miss it. I still think about the one I had. Making the transformation is fun but getting paid in the end is also nice.
