I hear ya,guys.You wouldn't believe this thing.Head stud siliconed into the case,wrong bolts in the head cover.It's on hold for awhile I think.
It's a f%#&*!g nightmare.Screwed again!I had a bad feeling about the motor,when I started the tear down,and found american bolts just cross threaded into holes.And 25,000 miles.I figured it would need a tensioner.Even the clutch basket is ground up from him riding it with the tensioner split.Believe it or not,I found all the pieces of the two springs,and the snap ring(yes it even popped off).

I would think you have some recourse for fraud, as while he may not of know the condition of the tensioner, but he did know the head bolt were glued in and should have disclosed that and the lag bolts.   Angry

Thinkin' about using this set up on both of the builds for hiding the electrics,and mounting the battery.

Personally, I liked the frame stretch that +9 did.  Probably cause I don't know if my back will take an unsprung frame.  At times, I can barely stand the shocks that I got. (progressive is a comin')

Yeah I like the open frame look too, if you can just hide the battery a little better.  Will the battery fit in the frame opening under the seat?

I'll have pics shortly.Yesterday I went all out on the frame.I cut all the unused tabs off(stock seat mounts,belt guard,etc.)Welded on new tabs for the seat springs.I did this one a little different from the last one.Got the gas tank all mounted.Going to try and sandblast all the parts today.My black '86(used to be my girl's bike)is getting a makeover right now also.I'm still riding it,but I'm going to paint another set of sheetmetal,let it dry good.Then I'm going to do a the headplug leak,and change the clutch cable while it's apart changing the sheetmetal.
