Picked up this thing on marketplace a few months ago.....




The good:

Only $300 bucks with a clean title and that included a brand new hitch carrier to haul it away.


The bad:

Seller claimed it was running fine up until the wiring near the headlight started smoking and shut down on him.

The ugly:

Motor locked up from sitting for a couple of years, wiring harness was toast and missing a gas tank and ignition box.


I filled the cylinder up with Kroil and let it sit for a few days before breaking her loose.

Picked up a new CDI box on EBay for $6 bucks and ghettorigged the wiring just to get spark.



Sprayed a little starter fluid and she fired right up

Rattle canned the fenders along with a new 883 tank




Still in the middle of wiring up the lights and stuff, but she runs great
