So the rx7s are gone. After over a year or so of trying to sell them multiple times, they are finally gone. I traded them yesterday for an 87 sportster. This is my first bike ever and I will be learning how to ride on this bike. I dont know too much about this type of stuff but, it is a little rough in some areas so Im just gonna tear most of it down and repaint, clean, and repair everything before getting it on the road. Im pretty excited and Im thinking it will be a fun learning experience. The overall plans is going to be making it a little more on the rat bike/ bobber style. Im going to paint the all the sheet metal matte black, wrap the exhaust, and remove a few things to give it a more minimalist look. On the mechanical side, it runs extremely rich and has a larger aftermarket carb on it so Ill probably try rejetting whats on it or go back to a stock carb since im not too worried about power at this point. Its also got a few minor wiring issues and a cracked front rotor. Well heres some pics and please dont mind the messy ass garage, its getting cleaned up and organized today.

Ill post up more soon. Im looking to gather some more parts before I get too much further into it. Ill be going back to stock grips. And Im thinking Id like forward controls for a little added comfort.
If anybody has any stock parts or knows anybody with some, Ill be looking for a trans cover, carb, possibly wheels since the finish on these is messed up, and front rotor which he said was a from a dyna.
Any advice or input is appreciated since I dont know anything about bikes.
