So im back to square one.
Someone please inform me if I am going to die riding this thing... I dont care if this is the most popular or prettiest way to hardtail but if its just a complete fuck then please let me know.
I just cut the swingarm so i could use the stock axle housing, not pretty I know but is it functional? Also the welds are better than they look I promise.
I tore it back apart because I finally looked into the oil leak that the PO had told me about.. When i bought the bike i decided it wasnt going to be a big deal
so I went ahead and built around it, took it for one ride around the block and i had oil slung up all over my back. Yes it was that bad. So I finally looked up under there and found a big ole glob of my favorite, jb weld. Looks like the case snapped off where the oil filter mates... fuck.
Time to split the cases cause i sure as hell aint dropping $700 on a used motorComment

Last December 2022 I bought an '84 Honda VT-700C and from this forum article I got ideas for what I wanted to do with my project. ... Fast forward to December 2023 .. I've got it finished enough to take for a backyard ride. It still has no brakes so no rode riding. He's pictures of when I bought it and some of the work I did last year, then the finish up work this week.
I still have running lights, license plate, brake lights, clutch & brake lines, upholster the seat ... ya know, lots of stuff.Last edited by CopperDragon; 12-01-2023, 8:51 PM.👍 2Comment
