I was out in the shop painting the logo on the seat and kept going. I don't want to spend a lot of time on this and just want to get it done .
Here is what it looks like with no clothes on . I started repairing some of the plastic and getting ready to do a quick paint job tomorrow .Also to protect the decals that are left I have been putting a clear vinyl on them . I am going to try to find some rubber mat... black or hopefully gray to redo the pick up bed and floor panel .
I JUST WANT TO GET THIS DONE !!! (sometime this century )

After a bit of practice it was actually easy . Just do some tests on some scraps first .

There is so much s*** in the way its hard to get a good pic of the trans. it is really weird . I have tried and tried to find any sort of manual or anything on this bike without success . I think I found the drain plug for the trans . but it is so low if I drain it how do I refill it ? If you know anyone with this bike have them PM me I have a ton of questions . Sorry I couldn't be more helpful .

Got another surprise today .The rear brake has been a little sticky so I poped the brake box that goes from 1 cable to 2 .... Rust Never Sleeps !
Then got some rubber matting for the pick up bed .
Then stuck a Honda Logo on the side of the pick up bed

Also mounted the rubber mat for the pick up bed on some wood so I could remove it and just have the metal bed .
Also sanded and painted the back pick up wall .

Finding out more and more about whats missing .
Like the 2 stroke oil tank ...
Oh Boy get to pre-mix 40 to 1
In the second pic I stuck some mesh to cover up where a cover probably went for the oil tank .

No I just try to see the inner beauty in a woman . And I don't have to worry about her riding my bikes ... I just show her the weight limit and tell her she is not worth a new set of tires .
Yea right
