so i haven't been able to get on here much anymore now that i have moved into my new place and have yet to get a working compter and the net :( but i'm on my way to gettin that taken care of. but i've gotten pretty much settled in now and got the garage set up like i want it. so today on my day off i got the blasty tore compleatly down to the frame, and wow did i find some suprises. i found that over half the wiring that the guy did is compleatly useless cuz it didn't even plug into anything or go anywhere. found out that if i take the entire front end apart (A-arms, steering stem, and everything) just to get the pipe out in one piece (need to find something to replace that). and i found out that the steering stem has a slight bend to it. i think that i may have done that myself on my bad landings that everybody has probly seen in 4cfed's videos that he's put up. i would put up pictures of the rebuild now but i don't have the conections to plug camara into this computer, so i'm just goin to wait till i get my own. so now it's just down to finding parts and getting parts and i can be back riding again. but i figure now that i got it tore down this far i'm just goin to get everything that i want on it and build it up the way that i want, longer swing arm, +3 axle, +3+1 A-arms or wheel spacers, new pipe, and the whole reason i started this build, a full engine rebuild. i'm hoping for better preformance out it when i get done seeing as it don't look like the engine has been touched since 84'....
 
Good to hear things are good and nice to see you around.Sounds like a nice little project going on.Keep us updated with pics,we love pics.haha If you need a steering stem I have a stock one here if interested lmk.
 
the steering stem isn't bent that bad that i can't use it anymore, you really got to look at it to see the curve. the hard part is finding the +3 swing arm and +3 axle for a reasonable price that won't break right away on me
