[QUOTE="Lowrider Bud, post: 220438, member: 5806"] Many THANKS to all the Welcome Replies. A couple sure had good references for where I am with this bike :thanks: . Well, I got it off the truck with the help of a couple of younger stronger friends. It rained for three days after I got the bike and the bike did not have brakes (front or back). So, it was a handful, but now it sets on my lift in the garage. I took some pictures and need to upload from camera so I can post them. Might start a thread to show my progress or frustrations. Also, for questions when I need help. Here's what I know about the bike right now: It has not been on the road since 2007. The person I bought it from was helping the owner with some of the attempted repairs and storing the bike for the past couple of years. The brakes were supposedly rebuilt, but fluid was never added. The carbs were rebuilt, but leaked when installed. As I examined them on the workbench I discovered they are 1981 carbs. 1st question; How does the gas get to carbs on the opposite side from the fuel inlet? Hope everyone has a very nice Holiday. Later, Bud... [/QUOTE]
