started out life, not running. (got it cheap!) Early 1984 IH
fixed the charging system, clutch basket and carb and it ran like a champ within 3 days.
picked up a wide glide front end and 21" rim and tire from the same guy later that fall, also for cheap!
got a flat tire so i swapped out the back wheel and tire for one i had sitting around for my triumph project, took a saws all to the seat and made the passenger seat detachable, threw the sissy bar in the garage.
bobbed the rear fender while my friend tim threw my velocity stack on.
shortly after this i had put a new tank on and didnt have much gas and was on my way to the gas station and ran out about 1000' from the station. i was pushing my bike and a car went on the other side of the white line and ran me over, so i had to take the whole summer and winter off from working on the bike.
After spending the past 6 weeks getting paint, new cams, tappets, blocks, pushrods, seat and slamming it with some old chain i welded up. here it is now, but its ever changing.
