Hells yeah!

Any forums where I could get more info from people who actually know shit about these would be great too. I'll post the occasional pic as it progresses....very slowly. Got the original service manual with it, too!

That thing will be pretty cool, does it have a VIN#? what kind of a bike is it? I would say throw in a 4 stroke, good exhaust and let that thing bark!

Want to keep it a 2 smoker....I need to be able to find specific motor parts that aren't available thru Yammy any more.

Kinda wanna keep the stock heart. But may be an option. And, a rather fun one, too.
