As you can see we have everything stripped down to the motor/tranny block. Took about a day, and after all was said and done we ordered a repair manual, haha.

Here's a close up of the final drive/right side of the engine block to show the extent of the corrosion damage. Trust me, the primary side is just as bad

Here is a picture of some of the part's scattered about on the work bench, which will also give you an idea of how rough a shape she's in. Drag pipes and original shocks on the right, calipers and drive covers on the left.

And finally, the front ends, rear fender, and original tank. The front end on the top is the original stock front end that was pulled off the bike a year or two after purchase (in around 1991), and the front end on the bottom is the wide glide that replaced it.
As you can see pretty much everything on this project needs some good TLC and quite a bit of time and money, but I have a vision for this thing, and I know it's going to look amazing when all said and done.
Thanks for reading! (Keep an eye out for updates. They will be coming in the following weeks and months!)
