Well, LM an others have helped to try to diagnose my jumping into gear problem so I thought I'd share some pics of my new project!

Should mention that it's a 65 I bought on eBay from a guy who's had it for over 10 years. It hasn't been run so I'm going through all the recommended tank, petcock, carb cleaning, etc. before I try to get it started. While I'm waiting for the battery I ordered, I am getting rid of the stupid purple paint, which was sprayed over perfectly good black paint! Some people.

Here's a couple pics from today's efforts:

Thanks, to pass along a positive that I located a spare ignition key from a fellow in Toronto for $10 plus $3 shipping! Only other source I found on eBay wanted $50 to cut one. Contact Glen Morrison at http://www.fsmotorcycle.com

Here's a quick update…got my gel MotoBatt battery, hooked it up and it turns over, the headlight, horn and brake light all work fine. This is a step in the right direction. Ordered a remote fuel bottle so I can get it started and adjust carbs, etc. while I get the fuel tank finished. This weekend I hope to see if it fires!

Okay, so here's a different project that came out pretty nice for me! https://www.flickr.com/photos/132976933 ... res/14683J

Took advice on here to redo one of the two rear shocks...went from hideous purple, to scuffed up black to shiny black! Came out nice, but was a pain to get the covers back on by myself!

Also, got the purple paint off of the black tank

Lots of fun! Working on the new bars and cables now while the rear fender paint dries.
