project 10 dollar shovel




So i have begun working on the shovel this weekend.Started by stripping it down and looking over what needs to be addresed.First removed nacelle and found both front fork tubes were loose for some time.The swing arm bearings are shot and it needs totally rewired.Since i'm gonna redo the entire bike into something i'll enjoy and the fact this bike has been sitting for at least ten years non eof this suprises me.So i figured the first place to strat was the motor.Saturday i went to the shop and pulled it.As i was doing this i found that the inner primary bearing was on the verge of exploding so i'm pretty happy i did'nt try to take for a ride before this.Starting monday i'm concentrating on tearing down the top end to check everything out and refresh the mill.here's some pics more to come at end of the week.
