[QUOTE="snowlover, post: 12374, member: 791"] OK. Thanks for the quick reply's. I don't think I am worthy. One ex. manifold has been off for at least 8 years, who knows what has crawled inside. It was left outside for quite a while before the current owner bought it as a project. It appears that it has never crashed or tipped over on the bars, but everything has quite a bit of rust. It will clean up ok, but a few spots are deep. Not sure I have ever seen a fuel tank so rusty. How diffcult to remove and restore? On a positive note, all parts are there. All luggage and matching vetter fairing appear in good condition. Includes a brand new windshield. If I was a wing lover or knew the motors better, it would maybe be in my garage, but I think it will cost too much to be a restored runner. Bottom line, I am willing to do some TLC to get a big road bike, but this one is a little to much special work. I will keep watching for a little newer one needing TLC that starts and runs. Any advice on early to mid 80's models to look for or stay away from? [/QUOTE]
