That's something to keep in mind, Weld.
I stripped the little beast down today to see what I am up against. Lots of stuff that can be cut off.
This is what I pulled off.
I'm keeping the seat and some of the electrical bits. There's a starter relay, turn signal relay, and a small cdi. I may see if I can adapt the cdi to a Solex. Some of the connectors may come in handy, too.
I did find this wonderful example of how not to weld.
In order to use the briggs, I'm going to have to use a remote fuel tank and remove the muffler guard. Maybe raise the back end of the upper frame an inch or so to gain some clearance. Probably just make my own exhaust pipe to fit a spark arresting muffler, too.
There's a motorcycle swap meet tomorrow that Mrs. C has agreed to take me to. It's been 18 months since I've been to one. Maybe I'll find some goodies. Probably CX parts galore as I won't be looking for any.
