Droobastank!

Well the other day my old buddy Droo decided to pick up an LTD SSXL from a really nice guy named Michael in mpls ( thanks Michael!) and got a great deal. The Cylinder and piston were pretty bad but a dremel and sand paper got it going good enough. This is what it looked like when we unloaded er from the car.

Droo had to work early the next morning so he left and I spent the rest of the night going through just about everything on the thing. Most of the bike was in good shape just a lot of cleaning and little shit. Although the clutch did have type F tranny fluid instead of SAE 30 but we just soaked the clutch in mineral spirits and she was ready. That was the only real headache.

Eventually got it running and I took it for a little cruise in the rain and the speedo was  buried at 35. Completely stock with a messed up cylinder and piston?? maybe the speedo is off alot....



I'm far too hyped on the Garelli action that is going on lately.





Droo is happy.

Cant wait too ride!
