changed it up a little

[nate4d]

got it stock in august 08 with 3000 miles on it for $50 and it kicked right over after sitting in a friends garage for 20 some years. worked on it all winter and the list of the mods includes: single seat, cut about 20" off the frame in back, sturts (for now), single tail light with no turn signals, cut and wrapped exhaust, new jets, lowered front and rear, 18 tooth front sprocket (very freeway friendly now), gs550 front caliper (not pictured). new headlight (old one was bashed in), 12 inch apes... i think thats it.

I like it, you did well for your investment! Did you make the struts for it, and how well does it handle with no rear suspension?

Cool ride....
