February 7, 2007:  First close ups of Barney the Red



Notice lack of crossbar and footpegs, fork boots,...


No muffler, footpeg, and what you can't see, no battery...


Not much new here, except that front tire can't hold air for 24 hours, the back can though. Also the frame looks pretty straight.


Notice the sleek trim line due to the lack of footpegs!


Looks like some fuel line and maybe a rebuild of the carb?


And no bolts to hold the missing crossbar either! And some barn I missed.


The left switch and mirror were shot off, no doubt! The clutch works though, amazingly.


One shot inside the tank (left I think).


Another shot inside the tank (right I think). Well is it good, fair, bad, or fogeddabouddit?


I am soaking the fork lock in oil after hitting it with the last of my liquid wrench. Got to buy (alot) more of that I think! It has the same number as the ignition, so one key did both! I had two different keys for my old C200, forty-one years ago.
