new winter project

[leatherface]

well, ive just finished cleaning the frame of my new winter project. i picked up my 88 framed roller for 650.00. good news first. the frame is straight, has a title, and the person i bought it from gave me all kinds of extra stuff. 2 pipes(FMF fatty and a esr trx 11 which i might want to part with), extra rear wheels, 2 cylinders (one is toast), 2 carbs(a 34 and a 39), and a whole box of miscellanious small extras. the bad news, no bottom end:(, no plastics and a small list of nonexistance. it came with the complete stock front and rear suspension and brakes. i have alot of work to do to get this thing the way i want it by spring. ill keep updates fairly regular.
thanks for looking.

Not a bad pickup. Keep us posted along the way, especially if you run into any problems, and be sure to include lots of pictures!

Leatherface is a great friend of mine and im proud to say i think i kinda twisted his arm to start a build.
Welcome brother and im really excited to have a riding buddy. ***WARNING*** Dont let it consume your life like i have, i dont want your girl to hate me.
You might be on to something with the support group thing though...HA!
See ya this week.

That fat pipe, I dont know if thats an ESR 11 or not. The top mounting brackets is like a CT pipe & the pipe connection joint is in the wrong place.
ESR & CT both have the connection point inside the frame under the radiator.
That might be one of CTs rev pipes withthe connection in a different place.
Realy looks like An LRD.

sweet, can't wait to see some progress. Maybe if Jason and I ever get our bikes finished we can ride by next year!!
Let me know if you need some random parts. I cleared out most stuff, but may have a few parts to give ya.

thanks for the correction neil, and the positive feedback from everyone. i am going to be looking for a set of +2/+1's for the front and i would like to find a different swingarm. preferably not chrome. if anybody has any leads on some used stuff im all ears. thanks for looking everyone.

If you was looking a short - type of swingarm I could fix you up.
-3 Viper, tube type with grey vane powder coat, TT swingarm.

well, im wanting to set up for trail riding. would a -3 reduce my stability by a great amount? also how would that affect my swingarm travel? with +2/+1 arms that would shorten my wheelbase by a total of 2 inches right?

It looks like a CT Whale pipe?
