Here we go:
Got the EX 500 a few years back, began working on it.....but lost interest in the project. Hey, I had a bike to ride and wanted to ride....not tinker.
So, time to man up and get cracking.
The bike is 50 miles away at my parents house right now as I have no where to store it.
Just moved my trailer(300 feet), so the three items in red are taking up alot of my time right now. Until those are finished, I'll only have one day a week(Sunday) to work on the bike.
As soon as its cleaned out, the storage building will be my garage. :thumbsup:
I bought the bike without title because it was going to either be a stunt or strack bike.
Ever since I ran across this site,:knucks: she's going on the road.
Of course, that's presuming she'll run...
I'm not sure how many hammer mechanics have put their grubby little paws all over the girl, but with 25,000 miles and 21 years on the clock, hopefully they didn't hurt her too bad.
I will have to get a bonded title, which just adds time and money to the process.
The tank has a couple pin holes and some internal surface rust. Also some Kreem residue(nasty shit!!!!!)
Gotta patch those holes first. Then gonna use the electro de-rustification method that Taiden used in this thread
