I picked this up for the wife Monday because the price was right. I was looking for a starter bike for her and this one fit the bill. It has some cosmetic damage up front but nothing to bad. The stay is bent and it's missing a bunch of the fairing hardware.
This will be a 2 stage build. I am taking it apart now and will just clean things up and get it road worthy again and after she gets the hang of the ride I will tear it down again and repaint it black (only the right way) and then it will get some pink airbrush work done and some pink paneled into the seats.

It is a little worse off then it looks but it's fixable and it seems to run strong. I road it to work Tuesday and it doesn't have the kind of power I am use to but ran out good and tracked true and thats all that matters. For this first stage I already have a new windscreen, gauge bezel, and mirrors ordered and I sent the seat to my upolstery guy to get about 2" taken out of the seat and I will have that back tomorrow. The wife is a short little thing and I had to get her feet on the ground and this will work great so I don't have to lower the bike. I will get a couple more pics tomorrow, I still need to get some plugs for it, get the front brake fluid changed and bleed the system, change the oil. adjust the chain, and clean the carbs. Next on the list of parts to order is an exhaust. Well that should be a small look into what I am doing and I must be doing the right thing because she is stoked to watch it evolve and can't wait to ride it.
