another disaster area...
Apparently the lug for the brake pedal pivot has been torn off once, and "sizzled" back in place...
Bad that the tab with the pedal stop-bolt is missing...
Swapping the frame won't be an option, as this will mean to loose the original title of that motorcycle...
So lots of work there...
First I'll get switches, electrics, throttle and clutch cables working again... swap the carbs out...
Give the engine some service (valve clearances, compression check, etc...) to check if its even firing up and running...

Crikey, that old girl is going to need some love. Good luck with the build.

LOL! ;D Any affinities to Oz? ;)
Removed that badly mangled rear fender... and then some...
Rear t/signal posts had been painted over, will see if they can be brought to shine again...
Wiring harness is a mess... requiring replacement was expected...
Discerned a not original regulator with wider housing, interfering with the inner fender, bending the electric base outward...
Freed the stubborn, corroded shut filler cap... dipstick bone dry... case reeking like old transmission fluid...
Removed one of those fancy, also stubborn AME tappets (must have been installed with an impact wrench back then >:( ), to pour 1ltr fresh 10W40 down the galleries... no instant leaks spotted ;)
ST1100:
Carb isolators, intake rubbers and all cables (throttle, clutch) ordered... in stock, gonna pick them up Friday...
Will see if I get to tune the engine this w/e...

Dropped this seller a line if he could also assembly a tool-set for a CB500K2...
