Since my line on a CX500 washed out I pulled the trigger on this little bike. It's a mess. Got it cranking but not fired up yet. Next couple of weekends are gonna tell me more of what I've got into.

Got it to turn over but no juice to the coil. A short search confermed the ignition key switch is fried. I know I have one around here somewhere but wont have the time to play with it more till the weekend. As far as direction with it I'm not set in stone. But been seeing some cool ideas and I want a winter project that challanges me to get better. And give me stuff to bitch about...

First plan is to hear it run. After that start chopping it up and see what it wants to let me do. I'm wanting to try out my tubing bender. Maybe a drop seat hard tail bobber. Some mild rake. not as much as the XS400 build. Something that chalanges me a bit and will be fun to scoot around on for a few months then sell and buy another project or two.

Did get the 120 rear gone and the rear axal was rusted in the wheel. I swapped it for one from a CB750C and the sprocket lined up and clears a 160 cruiser tire. The stamped backbone is gone and hardtail tacked up straight. That about it till my next days off.
