I bought this bike about a year ago and posted it in "Old School Moto". Project was sorta pushed aside for a while but it's now starting to come along. Seems like every time I look at it, it's costs me $300-$400. So I just do a bit at a time.
But it's is coming along now. Going to finish it as a rolling chassis, then put the motor back together last.
It's going to be a rider, so I don't want every part and bit to be perfect. Just rebuilding and cleaning up. Not making it a showroom bike.

Here is a restored 96 in my local CL for $4,600

If you're interested I have this. It's NOS, never opened.

Just need to finish the shock and motor. The motor was pretty much done but I had Ken O'Connor rebuild the crank. He seemed to do a good job, but when I installed the crank and put the cases together, I could see obviously visible runout on the flywheel tip end. I'm not sure how that passed inspection. Looks like it could cause a lot of vibration. I don't trust it, so I'm going to pull it apart again and buy a new OEM crank. The shock that came with it was fine, just need to be rebuilt and I'm going to put a stiffer spring on it. I bought a backup/spare parts shock off Ebay and someone in the Postal Office stole it thinking a heavy box with "Ebay" tape all over it would be a jackpot. I bet they were SHOCKED at what they found was useless to them. So I then bought a 3rd one which someone for some reason drilled a hole in the main body then plugged it with a bolt?? Morons...
Other than shock and motor, it's pretty much done. Going to change rear fender to white, I want a silver rear sprocket, I need to order some small parts and bits. Should be done in the next two months I hope.
