Re: Just picked up a korado. Sell it or chop it?
Give me your front fender, gas cap, petcock and a gallon of clr. Speedometer useless piece of hardware. What's the compression and I going 25,30,35 or 40 depending on am I keeping up with traffic.
Re: Just picked up a korado. Sell it or chop it?
I know but I just have it attached but missing the damn cover, looks stupid. Also is that speed from gps or readings from speedo? Mine reads about double what it should read.
Post in the BS, a lot of guys had korados that they're parting out and never took more than a couple days to get a petcock and other things I needed.
Re: Just picked up a korado. Sell it or chop it?
I just meant in general that I never use a speedo. If it's broke don't fix it is what I do. The lens is cracked in one corner anyways. I will search around for bis and pieces as I go.
I just tore it down to be able to clean the tank out. Easier to work with just the frame. I snapped the bolt that runs thru the steering tube and I'm going to find a set of ebr's over the winter. The forks were bent anyway and now I don't have to try and straighten them. I was told the crank's aren't up to the task of a kit anyone have problems after boosting up a bit?
Re: Just picked up a korado. Sell it or chop it?
Found a half pack of cigarette butts in the tank. It was a little pitted and a lot of powdered fuel (hashish chunks). New petcock came from treats in 2 days and I'm on the east coast. On to the next stage of cleanup.
Re: Just picked up a korado. Sell it or chop it?
The crank should have needle bearings, ready for kit rpms.
Re: Just picked up a korado. Sell it or chop it?
Just started putting a set of k10 forks (thx lucky two strokes) on it. Missing the light bracket rubes which keeps the lower spring covers from rattling around, so out the go. Lower race center had to be ground out to fit steering tube.

Re: Just picked up a korado. Sell it or chop it?
Looks pretty complete, don't chop it. I think that would be dumb unless this was pile of shit and you had to make something out of it.
See how fun they can be!
Re: Just picked up a korado. Sell it or chop it?
Sell it and buy a bus pass. You Hippy.
Re: Just picked up a korado. Sell it or chop it?

Re: Just picked up a korado. Sell it or chop it?
that front fairing is kind of cool in a weird way
Re: Just picked up a korado. Sell it or chop it?
Looking good. How long are the original forks btw?

Sweet.

Some good lookin bikes here
Re: Just picked up a korado. Sell it or chop it?
Stock forks are so spongy, the k10s will be better, did you have to do anything to the front wheel/axle to make it work? Brake stay lined up?
Re: Just picked up a korado. Sell it or chop it?
Ya, chop your thingy off.
Re: Just picked up a korado. Sell it or chop it?
Drill to match axle bolt. I need to weld a small amount to get wheel over another 1/8th inch. Stronger springs in my future.
Re: Just picked up a korado. Sell it or chop it?
Spongy forks are great for jumping sweet ramps
Re: Just picked up a korado. Sell it or chop it?
Hot rod style
Re: Just picked up a korado. Sell it or chop it?
Have had a few of these over the years, wishing I hadn't sold them especially this guy.
Re: Just picked up a korado. Sell it or chop it?
