Yard Sale

Completed disassembly of the bike today. Doesn't have quite the same panache when in pieces on the ground.

This is the entire bike minus pipes and front fender.

Only a couple of surprises: strained my back lifting the motor out :( and the discovery that the top triple clamp was cracked on both sides.

Top triple clamp is unusable

Here is an option for replacement.

A bit pricy at 140 clams - but super clean and strong.

Plan is now is to get the engine on a stand, inspect and adjust as necessary. Purchase exhaust, rebuild carbs and see if she will fire up.
