My brother in law Phillip came over yesterday and we went to town on the bike. Started slapping on everything we could, was a very happy day to see parts that had been sitting in boxes for months, go back where they belong.
Still got some work to do, but it looks like a motorcycle again.

| Cleaned up the shift lever, nice and shinny. |
 |
| New (never used) kill switch that sat on shelves for 40 years. |

| First time working on a bike |
 |
| Living room mechanics |
 |
| Gas tank on there for looks...still needs work. |
 |
| Pretty official stand there |

Up next I will work on the engine, I have all new gaskets for it, and will clean it up and paint it. Engine looks good, turns over well.
Since the wheels are on now, I can finally get the bike outside to finish it off.
Nice job. I just picked up the same bike a few months ago. Missing some key parts. Not sure how the hi\lo gears work. I took off the small cover and everything is missing. Do you have a picture of it?

Congrats on getting one, they are such cool bikes. That a bummer that its all missing.
DeleteThere are a few posted here (on the right side "High/Low gear change system" as well as "Engine - Part I" towards the bottom.
If you leave me your email i can send you a few more pics and info.
Pictures would be great. I think it the one you call "transfer case" but I would need to see it with the engine. (this picture is to close)
