motojason:
As picked up, January 2014:
Initial tear down, February 2014: Shock reservoir bracket broken, forks seals blown, shock seal blown, engine TBD...
Frame cleaning pre-repairs and finishing:
Engine: Bottom end needs crank rebuild + bearings/seals, idler gear, clutch plates, trans bearings, new washers and clips, and the left side case is cracked. Boo! Top end needs cylinder plating and piston...at least there are no power valve parts to deal with!
Foxx4Beaver:
some odds and ends here if you haven't already seen em...

Oooo, I love NOS!!!

Parts arriving: Frame back from getting repaired, sand blasted, and powder coated. New Hi-Flite seat, rebuilt crank, NOS idle gear!!!... and lots of other goodies.
Still need to get rear shock done and the cases repaired. Making progress.
Won't be ready for the Unadilla Rewind this month, but hoping to have it done before September.
Goat:
Where did you pick that up from? Looks like the one I fixed up and sold 6 years ago. I think the guy I sold it to was either in Big Rapids or Battle Creek can't remember.
