I picked the bike up for $100 and it's in pretty rough shape but I was able to get it running with very little work. I live in Northern Idaho and stumbled across this site while looking for parts for the bike and I must say, this site has been a wealth of information. I'm happy to be a part of it but I must warn you that I'm actually a car guy and this is my first venture into the world of motorcycles so I'm sure I'll have stupid questions to ask!!
I look forward to getting to know ya'll and I'll start posting a few pics of the bike when I get the chance.

This is a great site.
Nothing like a bunch of other people with similar interests to get you going.
Helped me bring my bike out from many years of storage.

Going to give it a vinegar and salt soak for a few days and see if that helps. I read somewhere here that a vinegar and salt mixture will eat away the rust.
Hmmmmm....... sounds like it would work better on some french fries. You might want to check this thread, I've used this method to clean a few tanks and it works well.
