    Man, sounds like a blast. I need to sell my bikes and get a dual sport...

      Hunting for rust...


      Pulled front seats out and started in on under-dash parts.

                    floors look solid
                    that driver seat frame looks like it has been repaired
                    you might want to find an un-damaged one if previous damage and repair
                    look too bad.

                    you are off to a good start.

                        I hear ya on that one. I'm not calling myself a welder... but whoever attempted it here should never touch a welder again!

                        New drivers seat frame on the list. And there's definitely rust under some of that coating. Spray liner and tap screws...

                          You got that right! Seat lost! I'm hopeful about the floor but not expecting it to be in great shape. Pretty sure the driver and passenger floor pans need replacing.
