Yea I know :cookoo: Those are 2 flood lights off a tractor for the headlamps. The bike seems to run good, just needs some tlc. So far I have about $800 in it. Hope to get it going this week :cheers:

You have a project on your hands.  Other than cosmetics, looks to mostly be there.

Keep us posted. As they say, include pics or it didn't happen.

I only got that headlight because it was cheap even tho it isn't dot approved

Hope you don't need to pass an inspection with that headlight setup you just bought.  Doesn't look like it puts out much light either.  Non-DOT for a reason  :dunno_black:
The price was right, but personally I'd want something brighter.
Good luck getting her back to road worthy.

What used to be in the back seat?  The hole looks perfectly square, like it was purposefully cut to have something fit inside of it.

The guy that inspects bikes down where I am from will pass it with that headlight. The seat was cut out for foot holds for wheelies. It used to be a stunt bike that came from K.C. Mo

Oh cool,  you got a GS with the the rare inset seat spoiler.  Probably way more aerodynamic.

O yea it is way more aerodynamic, :dunno_black: The previous owner before the guy  I bought it from did not take care of it. The good news is I bought a new solo single piece rear tail section that will cover up the seat :thumb:

Yes, The ehxaust is held on by zip ties  :2guns:  I am in the process of making a bracket that holds it on. The light is actually my fault. I was moving it around and broke the bracket.
