    Of course the GPS didn't come with the bike.

    The exhaust isn't even chopped up on it(popular mod on the scramblers & dreams) that is a hell of a find. The owner of one the company's I work with is restoring two 305's that he paid several thousand $$'s for.

    It took me a few hours to clean it up and get the bike running, but it seems like it's running out of fuel at higher rpm.

    After it warmed up, I took it on a 30 mile ride; stopped at couple of traffic lights after sustained high rpm, the engine seems to smoke a little, I guess I might need to open it up and inspect the rings on the cylinders.

    At least it starts and runs for now, people give me thumb-up when I cruise around the neighborhood.

    If it hasn't been run for a while it could just be junk built up that's burning off.
    I bet the carbs could use a good cleaning to.

    Why is it that the inexpensive, little bikes always seem so cool? I wish I kept my old '89 CB-1, I'll probably feel the same way about it in another 10 years.

    the bike may just need a long run to re seat the rings if its been sitting for a while

    Than you for replying to my post and the information about the windshield is what I was looking for.
    I don't know if I mentioned that I have a Staintoon and the sound is something unique and power is great, Do use K&N air filters on your bikes?
    Your bike is sweet, looks like it's been sitting in a barn for a while. You probably only had to put on new rubber and clean the carb and you can throw your 24 on the back rack.
