Remember to put the filters back on there.. That's a great picture. If she looks that good now , just wait til you have REALLY worked her over!

I have no filters or airbox yet. The airbox that came with it (uninstalled) is for a Suzuki:laugh:! There's a stock airbox up on ebay right now but I'm not sure if I should go that route or slap some pod filters on her.

I haven't even started any cleaning/polishing yet, that will be last after everything is tuned-up and in proper running condition.

Then I can start the mods!!

For now the stock one might be the cheapest route.And it might be nice just to have it.The stock parts I mean.

I was watching that one on Ebay myself. Looks like you got a good deal.

I was bidding on it as well. Nice score.

Nice score.
It's always nice to have a few more Hoosiers on the board.
Now let's get tommyp76 a bike!

I've the got the bid on one right now. Keep your fingers crossed.

I may have an air box from my '79 with rubbers. I'd have to check. Can't remember if I sold it or not.

Hey Rob, definitely get back with me after you check. I'd be wiiling to pay a fair price for it if you still have it!

It is nice to see a few other "Hoosiers" on here....


I wired in a new Fuse box tonight, bought everything at Autozone.
I had to replace about a foot of the original wiring to the two 10amp circuits.
The wire inside the insulation was all corroded.

I also had a problem with the engine cutting out when my fuel was low.
I drained the tank last night and found a little mesh and plastic filter that must have been getting sucked into the petcock and cutting off fuel flow. It doesn;t appear to fit my petcock and I'm putting in an in-line filter tomorrow so all is good!

Nothing wrong with that bike,AT ALL,for that price!
Good ON Ya for getting that wiring figured out,Bud...right on!
Oh ya...WELCOME!

Here's an update on my progress.

I installed new points and condensers this week and timed it the best I could without having an airbox on. And I unfroze the rusty, seized timing advancer!! I installed some new rear turn signals I bought of ebay. So much nicer looking than he abused originals that were on there. And I'm not in danger of catching a foot/leg on there and destroying them like I would with the originals. Yesterday I visited a nice bike salvage in Decatur, IN. I scored a complete air box, a nice 78' seat adn some drag bars and grips. I need to find a smaller master cyl. that fits on the new bars and possibly a new shorter clutch cable.
Here are some pics.
