I seen the picture of the bike and was like oh man looks good. You should see some of the bikes around here highly neglected and abused or pirated. Highly priced too. I dont think the guy knew what all the kid had into it and all he wanted was his wife to shut up and get his money back so he could leave her presence and go drink and gamble .......as he put it.
So i finally got one and if you recognize the bike or rider let me know some info please.

Ok so you can see some of the aftermarket parts on it. Radiator gaurds , expansion pipe , silencer etc. Now my first thoughts it was raced but when researched the pipe I found out it was more likely for track motorcross. No spark arrestor either. Another thing I have to replace or buy for woods travel.

This was after the wreck. The front speedo hub and caliper and wheel sleeve were the culprit. Was just gonna take it down the road to warm it up to change oil and work on it and front wheel speedo just dug into the hub. The sleeve was rusted solid onto shaft and wheel locked up with me going about 15 mph with no rear brake and only front . Needless to say even going over everything visually to see if safe for ride. Did not let me see whats going on underneath. Bike furiously put me onto road. Fractured my jaw it two places and 14 stitches in chin and badly banged knee. Good morphine tho.
So lets catch up to date

Also picked up a set of 00 forks for it. They werent leaking and were 400% in better shape then the others. So I figured Ill keep the old and use them to learn on rebuilding them. Also picked up a used in very good shape rim, axle bolt spacer and sleeve for it

I was not kidding about having a mouse nest for a air cleaner. This bike was a maze of mismatched bolts and when I went to look at it I only grabbed metric so I couldnt pull seat to look. The neighbor said he went over everything and the bike ran like a top too. A good thing is tho. The aircleaner had a huge hole where the filter was just gone. The mouse nest actually was packed well and Im hoping stopped anything from damaging we shall see. Im not running it till I tear apart the engine.

So Im just getting it cleaned out for now I have a new air filter for it. Getting the frame back in order with plastics. Im doing it this way so everything will look nice after the powder coat. There was some small damage to where the side covers bolted or slid into the flange holder. And as with this bike I bought a 250 piece bolt kit and I think i have two bolts new left hahahaha. My left eye twitches with anger everytime I grab for a metric wrench and walk back to bike only to discover someone put an standard bolt in place.

did some more cleaning and put the side covers on. I have to do some more tweaking but they are aligning alot better then before. The previous owner looked like he laid it down pretty hard on side shown.

this was before I got the rim in the mail. Put the seat on and have everything looking pretty decent for now. Gonna pop off the front again next and check the steering stem bearing. I know its a little backwards but its more of a what i get in the mail put on so Im not tripping over boxes stage. Also if the steering stem bearings need changed then I will do that after the powder coat and just clean and grease for right now.
