Welcome to the forum. Looks like you have a lot of cleaning............carbs, electrical connections etc. to do.
Good luck.

| I striped the bike down on Saturday, to see whats salvagable, the wiring and exhausts are shot, but most other bits are servicable. I will put some more pics up when it looks better, and when i've worked out how to shrink the photos.

Nothing that elbow grease won't fix. Looks pretty ugly, but I think you'll find it will clean up just fine. (Mine looked about the same when I got it.)
p.s... someone stole your kickstarter.

| The guy I bought it off broke 2 or 3 kick starts so had an electric starter conversion fitted. hence the bodged wiring.
