Beautiful bikes, guys!
SHE RUNS!!!!!
I rebuilt the carb, got a battery and tidied up a few things. She turned over and ran perfectly with the first bump and the choke out. Rode her around the neighborhood for a minute. I'm hooked!
I ended up getting some Kenda 270's for strictly offroad duty until I get the registration paperwork back for street use.
My offroad group has a big meet on September 13 which I plan to be at with my DRZ. She won't be pretty like everyone else's but she'll be mine. I'm so excited!!
I suspect this winter will consist of me taking her down to the frame and refinishing all of the nasty primer pieces.
I'll get some pics and vids soon.
PS the R6 throttle assembly did NOT work so I stayed with the stock.
