My A4 Before During and After

I've had this A4 for just over a year now. It wasn't running and hadn't bee insured since summer 1988 and I paid almost as much as for a running bike. It had been living in various barns all these years. Mega rust and corrosion. The up side was that all of the important hard to get bits were there.The chain was rusted solid and the tires dried with solid flat spots. Brake cylinders and carbs were seized. Gives you an idea of the mess it was in.
Paid a fortune to the Kaw dealer for work that I can do now thanks to the guys on this site. Got it running well enough to ride it from Vancouver to Calgary via the US. 2000 miles round trip.
Will try to post pics.



Guess all the pics didn't make it, will try again.
