just trying to figure out how to add some pics.

I was given a 1985 Aspencade missing the luggage, but other wise worked. Needs new brakes, new timing belt, new fluids,

I have removed the front fairing as it was damaged.. age cracks etc. The plan is to make it a naked bike.

The Speedo also did not work, bought a new cable,
Found a 1982 faux tank,
The PO installed a new LED tail light/combo turn signal that works well.
I have cleaned it off with the power washer and engine cleaner... looks better already

Now to start getting the wiring sorted out, new headlight and instruments … then paint... not sure what colour to paint it
