Bought this off craigslist for $300 almost 2 years ago and put about $150 into it. Finally got it running good now. cut up my old crappy seat and rear fender. stuffed all the electronics in an old bag and strapped it to the fender untill i figure out what to do with it all. this site was a huge help in fixing this thing up, the PO said it needed piston rings so i took his word for it and swapped them and it turned out it really just needed new exhaust valves, they were all sunken deep into the head. after that i was able to adjust the valves properly and now it starts up on the first crank. all thats left is to find a spot for the license plate and a real good cleaning. also i will be putting the front fender back on after reading that it is important for stability or whatever.
