I got this bike for next to nothing. Guy didn't know what he was doing with it.

The oil check glass was broke and someone uses jb weld or some kind of epoxy to fix it. But it still leaked. So I had to improvise, a lot of RTV liquid gasket, a washer, piece of tin, and a couple zip ties. I didn't want to waste money on a lost cause.

I got it home and stripped it down to do a damage assessment. I hooked a lawn mower battery up to it just to see if it would crank. the battery would spark.

So I checked all the wires and fuses. Found that the power terminals on the starter relay were backward and that the 30amp fuse was blown. So I keep looking. A couple wires at the plug for the rectifier looked questionable and the wires for the rear lights were just cut and left there. I fixed the starter relay wiring and unhooked the rectifier as well as spread out all of the wires for the rear lights so they wouldn't ground out. And Great success, she cranked great and started right up with some fresh gas.

So now I will move on to test drives. I have a new proper battery and a used in great shape wiring harness. As soon as I confirmed it drives, I will replace the clutch cover that has the oil glass in it and start getting it road worthy. My plan is for a very very simple street fighter. I think it will look better without the old fairings in the front. I'm also going to trim the side pieces and leave the tail section off.
