Posted July 2, 200816 yr Here's some shots of my old smoker. This bike was my dad's first motorcycle, which he purchased from my grandfather. It hasn't been on the road since '82. Engine was locked tight when I acquired it from my dad, but I stripped it down, had it bored .75mm over, slapped it back together, and the bugger runs. Actually runs pretty well, too... but it needs a lot before it's ready for the road. That project was put on hold due to buying a house, but I still fire it up every so often to make sure it's all still together. Pulled the engine Not so good-looking Ooh! Shiney! As it sits right now, complete with Vise-Grip shifter because of the shaft being buggered up. A quick paint spray, and some new tires, and she should be good as new!
July 2, 200816 yr Author Here's three youtube videos of me running it out on the road Note- these videos were taken with no air filter on the bike. Therefore, performance and sound are not representative of the finished product.
