It’s time to get busy putting this machine back together. The weather is breaking and most of the parts I anticipate needed are finally here.
Well, phase one at least.
To be honest, I expect I will need more parts as I haven’t even gotten to the point that I can do a compression or leak down test. I bought it with a janked kick starter spring and that little problem has been a real challenge for getting the parts.

Starting to collect some tools and organize.

Time to start on rebuilding the front brake calipers.

I would really like to upgrade to LTR front suspension. Maybe I should find a newer LTR front end and put those brakes on. I hear the modern LTRs have the best handling of all the machines.
