ok so this will probably be a long ongoing post, as i don't always have tons of time to work on it, and money is REALLY tight. but i did get the bike for free, so that helps a ton.

the bike is 81' 440 ltd. the plan is to make it into something a little more appealing. sorry all you ltd lovers. so lets go straight to the pics

first the inspiration




this is where the bike was living for the past five years








something dead was in there


all washed up


the start of the teardown






i got her started!!!!! wahoo! but she didn't run all that great. could only get it to idle. any time i gave it gas, it would die.

i know i need to clean out the carbs and that will help a ton. i just wanted to make sure there wasn't something that i need to do first or something that may be wrong. i am new to the whole twin thing. to help i decided to also include a video, i hope it is loud enough. let me know if there is anything that i should do before i continue the teardown.
