Actualy, i'm pretty sure I know what sorta headache I'm in for...
I just purchased a 5-basket case
The price was right...$1.00, the guy just wanted it out of his garage.
One Engine is in a crate...probably needs a rebuild at the minimum...the original engine in parts in several boxes next to it.
I've rebuilt several 2-cyl engines before, this is going to be a whole new level of pain... :bang head:
But hey, if I can bring it back from the Dead...I'll have a NICE ride to enjoy!!
The last motorcycle engine I rebuilt was a Yamaha Vision 550 2-cyl V-twin, water cooled....about 15 years ago...I'm hoping the lessons I learned from it will help me on this big mofo...
Or should I just haul it in to the local shop and let them rebuild the used crate motor??
What I really can't believe is how far the guy had gone to dissasemble the bike...he took the gauges & cables & Front Brake Cylinder off...argh. Not sure why.
Looks like I've got one heck of a Summer Job to complete
