    This is my rebuild journey. Started when I had to go to San Diego for 4 months and wanted some entertainment. I bought it on the way out of town and worked on it in the parking lot at the hotel. It needed a lot of work. Currently going back the original jets for the carbs because the kit provided ones drink too much gas. Had to build this small gantry to get it off my truck because the transmission went out and I couldn't move the truck much. So I just lifted the front of the bike and removed the wheel chock to put the ramp on the other side.
