gotta love craigslist

[smitty]

picked this up a few weeks ago,saw it on the list one week again the next only it was a bunch cheaper so I calls the guy and me and the wife head down to eastern valley city (is there such a thing?) and pick it up and yes it's as bad as it looks but I got it running,tank and fenders are decent,everything else lets just say my wire wheel is getting a work out

 

[AHRMA361]

Sure. Come down around my hood and not even a phone call. Looks like you need a trip to Harbor Freight for a few backup wire wheels.

 

[smitty]

sorry,spur of the moment deal
forks are done,wire wheeled,blasted a little bodywork and silver paint on the lowers,new homemade stainless upper tubes,xr50 dust shields,hopfully the rest comes out as nice

I like the 100 tooth rear sprocket. Is that an 80 or what size is it?

 

[smitty]

72 tooth

 

[smitty]

Forks are done

 

[halffast]

Saw that one,probably just as hard to find parts for

 

[smitty]

I rode this all over midohio,was a lot of fun,needs better fork bushings or a fork brace using the front brake creates big pucker factor right now,there were 2 enduro versions with Fuji 4 speed engines there ,both were original and 1 was for sale,dude was interested in mine but never came back (they never do,do they )mine came home with me
