Not sure what I'm going to do with this yet...
This 1974 Roadster has been sitting for the last 25 years in a dry Arizona barn. Supposedly ran when parked. Came with an extra oil tank, side panels and a new 750 roadster seat.
The good:
No rust
Everything turns freely
Good compression
Numbers match
Mostly there
The bad:
Some dry rot
Badly bent and poorly repaired rear loop
Bent pegs and hangers
I'm debating whether to try and get it running or just tear it down now. Also can't decide if I want to put a short rear loop on the frame and do a cafe custom or start looking for a replacement frame for a restoration. Thoughts?
