this beast started its life out as a junker, $30 bucks at a garage sale, covered in rust, barley running, and ugly as hell, had a duct tape towell for the seat, and a ghetto home made gas tank someone welded up and welded a petcock onto it was horrible, but i figured, its $30 bucks, why not? a little bit of elbow greese, she was up and running, few rattle cans and she was pretty again aha

You really resurrected a machine given up for dead and turned it into a little racer anyone would be proud to own. What sort of performance does it deliver? Did the porting really add significant gain? Can you post a larger photo?

Nice work on resurrecting a dead machine. Been there, done that, so I can really appreciate the work you put into it.

Awesome gas tank the previous owner had .....
