This is a small rebuild of my bike. I took off the intake and there was a crack in the piston. I put a Vertex piston in it and had it bored 1 over.
Someone cut the silencer down to 4 inchs. I replaced it with a new Pro Circuit 304 silencer.
Took the flywheel off to replace the seal and saw a welded on flywheel weight.
Replaced all of the frame/wheels bearings except the swingarm bearings. They are still good. replaced the chain. Put a used 93 shock on it.
Put new graphics on it.
I wish I had more money, I would go with a red tank and radiator covers and stock 1989 decals.

Before picture from the ad when I got it.
