I has been a good day here in NY. Warm enough to get something done and cool enough to inspire working on the sleds.
So fishing around the machine shed, we selected a 79 Intruder as a donor sled for the track and find it quite mystifying. The steel on the sled seems to be quite good. The aluminum, except for the tunnel is badly oxidized. There are only 157 miles on the odometer, no wear on the track, and the interior of the chain case is immaculate with no appreciable wear on the gears or the tension pucks. Carbs are seized and engine will not spin. The oil tank is full. Oddest variation of conditions I think that I have ever seen on any of the sleds that we have picked up.
