Sweet Project!

found out what the oil leak is. its a hole in the front piston and the oil is coming out the crank case vent. looks like i'll be rebuilding the motor, which i figured i'd be doing anyway. so its no big deal. any ideas on how to proceed on this one are welcome. its basically a blank sheet of paper. i really dont have any grand plan formulated for it. the price was right so i bought it. but whatever way i go i want to be done and riding by the time the weather warms again next spring. what do you guys think i should do with it. one thing i will do is change the bars. the stock bars are way too narrow for me. i also dont like ape hangers. this can be a ratrodsrule member build. i can use ideas posted here to build it. see what you guys can come up with.

Wrench,
I say check out the "Kool Bike" thread and the bike pictures Tripper posted of the Burnout and some of the other fotos in the bike section for ideas. BLACK is best! Looks like you have a good platform to start with!

Nice score. Since you asked for suggestions, the first thing I would do is get rid of that gigantic seat. Then go from there.
