Traded a restored 75 DT125 for this very complete 650 last week.  Hope to have it back together in a week or so. Everything is now rust free and stripped.The frame is going to be shot tomorrow. I'll keep updating as progesses.

Looks like a keeper. How did it run before pulling apart?

Carbs were all gunked up and couldn't hardly run long enough get across the lot. But the engine test good and it shows just 7K on the odo.
Ordered 200.$ or so of parts from Mikes XS and will be going together this week.
Note: I really don't have a real job anymore,what can i say? So i buy old bikes fix them up and sell them for fun.That's how i'm able to restore bikes so quick.

All done except for side cover re-paint and new seat cover.Tank is the stock paint,all it needed was a new clear coat.
With the carb O\H and tune up it runs like new.
