Picked up another side job that helped pay for the glock I just got.

this guy picked this thing up for $100!.

it has 19k original miles on it, came with a new: spare front sprocket, chain, brake pads service manual, and maintenance records. while everything on the bike is in better than decent shape.


my job is to get it leakproof (oil pan and fork seals) and running along with a makeover. going to be going with a gloss black base and gunmetal grey highlights.
