Edit: since this is becoming a build thread, I'll start going back and adding any important details of how I've gotten to where I am now. For now, I'll replace the starting carb pic with a pic of the bike the day my dad dropped it off. He's getting older and riding less. He needed some space in his garage, so I was the lucky recipient of the bike he rarely rode.
Seat, tank, carb, battery box, air box muffler and header all off yesterday.
Today I rejetted the carb to 50/150, and cleaned it as well as possible. First question: I read something about a white spacer and a washer mod, but couldn't find details. Wut y'all talkin' 'bout?
Got the K&N cone filter dry fitted to the carb.
I was looking into removing the rear fender, but didn't have anything to label the electrical wires, so I stopped. Second question: what's the thing that looks like a heat sink between the fender and seat? Does that need to remain?
Cognito Moto rearsets came in, so I'm looking into building the rearset brackets. Planning to get bar and tube stock, make all the pieces and have a custom metal shop down the street do the welding.
Last question: Anyone have suggestions for a battery box?
