looks are deceiving, Most of the bolts are not original.

the frame has snapped and been welded...will not pass a road safety inspection.

The motor is missing the sprocket cover, points/CDI cover and some case bolts.

I am hoping the black heavy paint will respond to paint stripper. not So sure about dumping $ more into a beater.
However I have no problem hacking into it.

Some other bits like the rear brake return spring ,wheel adjustment/chain tension bolts are gone.

I would probably have to get another bike just to save this one. It's basically junk but might be able to sell the non essentials like the side plast+airbox, splash and rear guard as-well as the gauge cluster and loom to a point where the wheels, hubs, swing arm and front shocks were worth the effort.

The rear tire holds air...I guess that's something.

I spent more on this 81 parts bike than my 92 model but that pre pandemic prices...and that being said my 92 wasn't perfect but at least it was mostly original and structurally sound.
