I have to find a "before" picture, but this was an inoperable bike I got for cheap through a co-worker. It had been sitting in a barn for several years. Brakes were seized up and carbs were a mess. It had a Vetter fairing on it and an ugly seat with a back rest and crash bars. All that was stripped immediately.
I tore the carbs apart and ran all the small parts through a $30 Harbor Freight ultrasonic cleaner. Cleaned the tank and un seized the calipers and rear master cylinder. Cut the frame after I welded up a structural member across the frame at the top shock mounts. The front forks were rebuilt with Progressive springs and 20W oil. Rear shocks are 3" longer than stock, actually Harley shocks. The ride is nice and firm...confident.
I hammered the tank to clear the clip-ons on both sides and chopped the front fender. Lowered the front fender 3/4" to hug the tire better. While I had the front suspension apart I painted the outer fork tubes and fender.
It is a hoot to ride. A little more cosmetic work and it'll be done.
