    200$ Steal-Of-A-Deal 1983 185s

    I paid 200$ (canadian) for this beast that hadn't been started in over 2 years, it started in 6 pulls, would've been 2 pulls but it was inexperienced 185 starters pulling it over (not me) and they flooded it.
    This is what it looked like when I bought it

    after

    This is what she looks like now. she's a beaut. all I bought was a chain and some spray paint. I had lots of spare parts from my other bike.
    Switched parts:
    Motor Mounts
    Seat
    Front Tire
    Handlebars & New Grips
    Air Filter

    I stripped it right down till there nothing left on the frame except the electrical and the tires. I cleaned everything up, I soaked the air filter in gas, the carb in paint thinner, drained the gas and put fresh fuel in it, the only problem I have is that it bogs out quite a bit, i don't know if it's the cold weather, or carb problems. but i think it was a good 200$ deal

    oh and a previous owner( my girlfriend's dad) gave me the bush guard, because he kept it when he sold it, because he was going to sell it but he found out that i bought the bike so he just gave it to me
