Looks like you have a very nice machine to start with, I know the feeling on hating your state. California is also one to suck the money right out of your wallet!

It's pretty decent to start with. There are some things that are very wrong with the bike (I.E. someone welded one of the damn mufflers, the kickstarter isn't installed correctly and I don't even think it's the right one, the carb isn't tuned right, the clutch needs taken apart and repacked, etc), but everything is pretty easily fixed.

I should be able to get it in good running condition in a few weeks' time. Prettying it up will take a bit longer, but the paint is at least decent, so I'm not too worried. It's a good 20/20 sort of bike, IMO.

Looks like a great bike, enjoy. I noticed you were looking for fenders? I don't see much wrong with the ones on the bike?

The front fender is kind of scraped up in the front (dad says he doesn't think it's actually a commando fender in the first place) and the rear fender has some dents. They'll do for now, I'll just want to replace them when I find a deal or when I can afford to go all-out and make the bike look REALLY nice.

Great idea, They can wait. Sounds like you have a handle on whats important and needed first, Send pictures along the way. Just get out and ride her, Be sure to give her a name pretty soon and let us know what it is. LOL they all need names ya know. Ride safe, Chuck.

My first choice was "sugartits" but the wife said no. Now, I'm thinking Ruby or Rosie, but I intend to repaint her (probably midnight purple with silver decals) later, so I'm not sure..
