I just acquired an '86 FLST for free. Unfortunately my girlfriend's uncle crashed into the side of his neighbors house and didn't make it. I picked up the bike yesterday after looking at it a week or so ago. Motor and trans are seemingly untouched minus a cracked derby. Other than that it all seems to be cosmetic. And quite a bit of things the cops took off (due to full investigation) and never cared to put back or with the big things. Basically I'm missing a bunch of hardware. Boohoo, I got the bike for free. I've started tearing it apart. Basically tins, bars, forks. Mind you I'm working inside a storage unit in so cal with 100 plus heat. The list of things that are fucked so far are as follows:
Front end (planning on re-using the axle, trees unless they're not straight and neck bearings. should I not?)
tanks
seat
rear fender
derby cover
floor boards
These things I'm missing, if you know where I can find em I appreciate it.
Gas tank hardware
seat hardware
hand control hardware
front caliper hardware
[B]Now are two very important parts!!![B] From the naked eye the frame does not seem to be damaged at all. I was not planning on pulling everything to have it checked. What's the consensus? Damnit I'm kind of drunk and forgot the second one! Guess it wasn't that important.
