 Exhaust was mostly home made. |  Engine had jumped timing, but seems to be all there, points covers came with it. |  Missing just about everything, rear rim is not original and the shocks are wrong also. |  Power sprayed the frame, will get it ready for painting. |  Engine off, parts put in the frame for storage. |  A total wreck, will take a lot of work. |  Started on the frame, banged out the skid plate. |  Frame Cleaned and Primed, ready for paint. |  Frame painted, starting to re-assemble. |  Cleaned all of the mud off the engine. |  Cleaning out spin filter, making sure everything is ok inside. |  A lot of aluminum was worn away by the chain slapping around... I always thought this was a bad design.. |  Cylinder had Epoxy on the side, what were they trying to seal??? |  Cylinder on, cam chain in. |  Cleaned and painted side covers. |  Engine Completed, now on to the frame. |  Front tensioner was spent, will need a new one. |  Engine had no compression, and here's why, bent valve. I was well aware of this problem due to my bikes back in the 70's (sl125) bending valves... |  Extra Original Seat Photo |  Side View |  Inside of Removed Cover |  Front |  Bottom of seat |  Right Side |  Bottom View |  New Seat cover installed! It looks great, from vintageavenueshop on ebay. |  Second Powder Coat job. |  Tumbled the tank, it worked well, removed most of the loose rust. |  Muffler |  Chain Guard |  Its coming together. |  Muffler placed on for sizing. |

Started to clean engine. First used gunk. Got most of the mud off, then put engine in parts cleaner. After removing the mud found that the chain had fallen off in its past and it had broken a lot of the aluminum around the sprocket... Nothing had broken through, may just leave it as is under the cover.. or I may get new pieces tigged in.
