My quest for a tank has ended with what some might consider a piece of the unobtanium...a NOS late model tank
It's from a guy on ebay who's selling off the remains of his parts shop in the midwest. I got a smokin' deal on it compared to his asking price. He wanted $475 OBO. I offered $200 thinking no way will he accept it, but this morning I looked, and he did! He had one up for auction a few weeks ago that went for over $300, so I'm pretty pleased with myself. It just needs some paint, and my nice chrome covers and I'll be set!
I've ordered the snowmobile plug wire so I can redo my coil. The throttle cable has been replaced with a fresh, lubed one, and I lubed the throttle slider as well. The clutch cable requires one to remove the left side exhaust, which will require a blowtorch to remove one of my bolts...luckily the clutch cable isn't too crusty, so I may put that job off till she's fully functional.
