G'Day Pete, good luck with the Bike project!

Sure will feel good after you build the bike up & go for that 1st ride!

Assuming it stops SNOWING! :wink:

Thanks for the welcome guys :D anyways, my project bike is a 1983 Yamaha Seca 400 that was semi parted out. Dont know much about it other then its got a horrible paint job and is missing some rather crucial bits... like carbs and a few other things.. Tommorrow is its first appointment with the mechanic, so We'll go from there.
