    yea the tank is setting here in the room... looks real clean on the out side but real bad on the inside... tried cleaning it with that rust remover it helped a lot but still gonna have to use a high end fuel filter lol

    the gun ran is totaly not factory.. its some hack job they did on it. its gonna go. I like to pressure wash it but im afraid to I dont want any water getting into the electrical connections.

    Can you still get OEM Rear Fenders? If so I would just end up dishing out 170$ for each one one day.

    Yes the guy got 3 new tires before he parked it.. I think its in great shape waiting on a member here to get the carb cleaned and rebuilt. Do yall think I can get a air filter for it locally? I Dont want to wait over a week and half to get a factory replacement filter. I be nice If i can get a after market one here in Dallas.
