[QUOTE="geek777, post: 112862, member: 8648"] Thanks Guys. Appreciate the warm welcome and the advice! Did little inventory, laid things out, took a few pics and thought I'd share :thumb: There's a few things we can use, but a lot is missing or unusable. The more complete of the two engines. [ATTACH]19424.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]19425.vB[/ATTACH] Engine serial...I've no idea if this was original to the bike or what year it came out of. [ATTACH]19426.vB[/ATTACH] One of two engine cradles...(or whatever the proper term is) :) [ATTACH]19427.vB[/ATTACH] Second cradle with spark plug guard. [ATTACH]19428.vB[/ATTACH] Rear tag bracket. Seems to be in good shape other than rust. Surprised how beefy some of these pieces are. [ATTACH]19429.vB[/ATTACH] Second, partial set of forks [ATTACH]19430.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]19431.vB[/ATTACH] Harness and coil. The harness was in better than expected condition. Almost no brittle wires, no missing ends and the connectors themselves aren't dry rot or anything. Almost makes me wonder if the harness isn't out of this bike. [ATTACH]19432.vB[/ATTACH] Second engine...less complete, shot of the serial. [ATTACH]19433.vB[/ATTACH] Bracket for the coil is toast. Not sure it came off this bike, the frame in the area it mounts isn't this bad. [ATTACH]19434.vB[/ATTACH] Second swing arm and wheel. Axle stuck...the arm looks to be in slightly better condition that the one on the bike. [ATTACH]19435.vB[/ATTACH] Frame inside [ATTACH]19436.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]19437.vB[/ATTACH] Seat area of frame, inside [ATTACH]19438.vB[/ATTACH] Bent fork lowers [ATTACH]19439.vB[/ATTACH] New piston and rings included. [ATTACH]19440.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]19441.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]19442.vB[/ATTACH] The parts came from Vietnam...not sure about the piston or rings...thought maybe the 87 denoted the size?? [ATTACH]19443.vB[/ATTACH] The boys were determined to test the gas tank for leaks...not sure why this was important, but i went with it :) [ATTACH]19444.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]19445.vB[/ATTACH] The rough and easy to identify list of missing and needed parts the boys put together :) [ATTACH]19446.vB[/ATTACH] Agree that it would be best to get the parts blasted instead of doing it myself. I'll start calling around soon. Chased the threads in most of the frames welded on nuts. Understandably, some were worse than others but none appeared to be stripped. Found a broken bolt for the right side lift handle so I'll be drilling and using and easy out on that. Could find the frame bolts for the engine guard, so couldn't chase those threads. Didn't see any cracks in the engine mount area, but want to wire brush things in that area and look more carefully before spending money on blasting the painting the frame. Think I'm going to look for a hard copy service manual so we have something other than a computer to reference while out in the garage. Thanks again for the tips and pointers. Much appreciated.
