[QUOTE="Coastal Redneck, post: 171556, member: 11287"] Seat needs trimming, LOL... ya know, it didn't sound bad the second time around, probably because it was warmed up by then, sounds like a strong motor at times, just needs some tweaking & tuning. Those old bikes are surely bulletproof, with a little money and elbow grease invested in your project you would have a nice little cruiser. You can probably bend that handlebar back into correct shape, and you can always buy a nicer seat later, unless ya happen to like that look, LOL. I'd start with a good overhaul, new plug, oil and filter change, new fuel filter, clean or replace the air filter, general inspection and tightening of nuts and bolts, some tinkering with the idle screw and the air screw (if it has one), check the tightness of those pipe bolts and maybe get a new crush gasket... the bike would probably sound a heckuva lot better. Honestly, there were times during the second run when the motor itself sounded pretty good. These guys will chime in shortly, they know a heckuva lot more about these bikes than I do... but you clean up that bike and it'll be fun to ride. Get that wiring done right and back where it belongs, no future in having that hang out and flail in the breeze. Oh, yeah, never run anything but premium gas in that baby, the bike will love ya for it, LOL. Otherwise, ya done good with the video... later, you'll need a mounted Hero Cam so you don't hafta hold the camera in your hand, that's a recipe for eventual disaster. :confused: [/QUOTE]
