    Ok, first of all, I want to thank each of you for your input. The feedback on this message board was fast and accurate and I want you all to know it is greatly appreciated. It's always nice to see people passionate about a particular subject and eager to help.

    However.. Looks like the project sold. I have a customer here in Traverse City who has offered me $400 for the whole load. He is looking for a ground up project and this seems to be right up his alley. If this falls through I will definately come back here and let you all know.

    Thanks again for the information though.

        Even though sold I will mention (as it might be good info) that the carbs are definitely 1980 or later carbs (you can see the idle screw tunnel on the front).

            Congrats on the quick sale.

            And yes, the 81 MNS had the swirly wheels. One of those Pre XJ things they did with the LH models, along with the linked brakes.
            Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

            When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

                The frame looks like a standard (by the rear footpeg mount and the fact it has standard exhaust fitted), but it sure does have a bunch of MNS special parts too. Very much a project...
