The tach isnt lieing. It was frustrating but shes running pretty fair now. I took her on a couple short rides this evening. Now its on to finding body parts. UGH!!!!

Few pictures of the 86 i have.

Hey everyone. Sorry about being awal for several days. I had a break in at on of my stores and its been a pain in my rear end. Actually just got back home this afternoon. I did take sum pictures of my venture to post and as soon as I get them off my cell phone and on my computer I'll be posting. So this afternoon the carbs came off and are soaking. We actually got her to hit and after about 15 minutes had her running. All be it popping and cracking and on half choke. But hey "we have a pulse!" That's honestly all I've had time to do this far. Things have settled down since the break in so I plan on getting grease under my nails every night. Thanks for all the warm welcomes and I'll post pictures ASAP!

Well I guess the title says it all. Hello everyone! I'm new to the site but not new to motorcycles. Rode and enjoyed them for over 20 years. However i just bought my first venture. She could be called a barn find, except she was in a guys mancave as a decoration. Well long story short shes mine now and I plan on restoring her to her 1986 glory. Hence joining this site. I'm going to drive a few of you crazy with questions so lets go ahead and get the I'm sorrys out of the way. I do work on my own bikes but advice from more knowledgeable folks is always a good thing! As of now she still rests in peace, or I should say pieces. However in the weeks to come she's gonna roar again! I plan on working on her daily so I'll do my best to post daily on progress and set backs. Right now shes still 100% original I plan on keeping her as close as I can to that. However a new fairing is a must purchase. She's been dropped. Not wrecked, hell she has less than 3000 miles on her. She was an inheritance to the guy I bought her from. Sitting in his man cave in sure she's been riden a million miles tho. And that's how she's been dropped. So fairing is pretty cracked and even busted in places.(by the way I'm looking for all the front fairing pieces). Well enough rambling. Glad to be on the site and I hope to meet some of you in person.
