Howdy, new to the group but I've been fixing up old MCs for a while. This is my first Ninja.
I acquired it as 1 of 9 MCs in a hoard from a fellow enthusiast. I have title, but no keys. The fairing in the picture is just laying on it, and it is the only fairing of the set (the several others are missing). The tank is cruddy, and it is difficult to assess at this point if it can be salvaged for a reasonable price, or replaced for a a reasonable price. What I am most interested in is some direction from the members here, on the best way to proceed to get it restarted. Look forward to some great advice from you experienced Ninja owners!

Hello Dave, welcome! One of the big stumbling blocks of these bikes is the carburetors. They get clogged pretty easily if they're left sitting for a while, and they're difficult to get properly clean. This might give you an idea of what's needed.

Welcome Dave, looks like quite a haul
Jim already hit it with the carbs; these are fun and Ducatiman provides a great service in ultrasonic cleaning. It's worth it. You got the best color: green Looks like a nice little cl350 there as well, that's a nice looking piece
