[QUOTE="MY-BLUE-BEAST, post: 150156, member: 388"] I got a bit of work done today on it. I stripped it down to the frame, put apple cider vinegar in the tank to get rid of the rust, and dismounted the tires. Everything is looking good, should be able to use most of the original parts. I found a guy in the next town over that has 10 of these things lying around so he said to come on over and strip of any parts I need, he has the 125s to so I should be able to get the yellow plastics I need.

Let it sit for a few days and it should be rust free for the most part. I forgot the before picture :banghead: [IMG]http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m529/JZ67SS/temporary_zpse3b6137c.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
