1985 454 LTD "Bobber Project" (first bike)

[venzon]

Hello everyone from Winnipeg MB Canada.  I'm a proud new owner of this 1985 454 LTD.  This is my very first bike and I actually had her a few weeks before I got my license.  I originally wanted a Honda or Yamaha to build a cafe racer and never really gave this bike much thought until I came across this beauty and researched the 454 more.  I've been a car guy mostly Subarus and Lexus for the past 10 years and have always wanted a bike.  Plan on tearing her apart over the winter and getting her running better.  Got her starting up no problem but she is bogging a under full throttle and a bit of backfire when cold.  Planing on doing the valves, carbs, tank, and a few more things I've read on here to check.

Here are a few photos I snapped for now
