Thats a pretty good fix. My only real concern is the single mount that it looks like a surface weld instead of a full fix. I have time this weekend so I am going to put it on a bench and give it a good look over to see if there are any other issues.
Well I can attest to the greasing of the splines. I had the rear tire changed when I got mine and the splines and cup were full of rust. As for replacing the transmission, I have looked at the maintenance manual and I would imagine the bulk of that cost is labor. With the engine being a structural part of the bike, its more time-consuming to drop the engine.
I would talk to seller about refunding some of purchase price due to extensive damage and costs to repair.
Waiting for parts- the story of my life. Hope you're throwing a tarp over that in the meantime. Sending good vibrations your way....Ok, well its been a while waiting for tools and parts. And Im still waiting for a few more parts to show up.
Yea, there is a tarp over the bike and the parts table. Waiting for a few bolts and washers to show up so I can swap parts on the engine and start rebuilding.
That really is living the dream, or roughing it, congrats.
I'll have to settle between living a dream and having to create shade like a tree because I can't exactly afford a workplace garage or shed otherwise. But at least I have something to block the sun while I work.
Yep, even when I was growing up we always had some trees we could hang a chain hoist from, and always had shade and cooler temperatures. But that was over seventy yrs. ago. You got to do what you have to do. Congrats.
