Kool Aid Dispenser!
My friend Mike purchased a nice, but rough R1200C over the weekend. We picked it up in NJ from a guy who was riding it, but had the clutch stop working. He replaced the slave, but no help.
Here is the pick-up:
Some baseline photos of the general condition:
Nice bike, runs OK on 8 month old gas.
This is the plan:
The right side of the tank has some small dents, but the paint got the brake fluid treatment and it would be seriously difficult to fix. Besides, Mike likes what he likes!
This is the scheme, change blue to green:
Overall in decent shape. The swingarm will need to be repainted after surface rust removal. A little polish, some small chrome rust removal, and it would look pretty decent as is.
Of course all the usual stuff will be done, SS brake lines, spline lube, fluids and filters, plugs, tires (from 2002), brakes, etc.
