just checking if my photo is being uploaded .........this is my T120R Ive been redoing started out with 1967 i got that was sitting up for about 12yrs and after about 1200,00 clams ladder and lots of elbow grease i thing it might be a main mode of transpo with this gas thing going on i could use any advice on what might be something Ive missed in upgrading Ive gone with the boyer electronic ignition and a power module with a bat. also , new clutch bearings seals cables but did not split the cases or change rings i did lap the valves and had good comp. last time i started it but then had trouble kick starting from bad gear mess thats when i got gasket kit and other goodies i hear that this is a real easy motor that takes allot and keeps ticking how far do u think it would putt and get home after a month or so of daily use. or is it too small to go out of state? I'm getting antsy!

I had a 650 Bonneville [1972] for years and rode the he** out of it. The motor, other than leaking oil, was the least of my problems as long as I kept the maintenance up. But I commuted with it, long trips, around town, everything. And it kept up with the bigger cc bikes to boot.

The vibration, on the other hand......... :evil:
