I was expecting it to be worse for an 87 but its not awful besides the plastics(no biggie can get all from ufo) just little things like a top end chain guide tires and a little tic. The tranny should be good it has a 14 42 combo so i doubt the previous owner ever got it out of 2nd.

Don't be too sure, I use a 15/42  :-D

came out pretty good how ever i ran out of the paint (rustoleum textured gray) so ill pick some more up tomorrow to finish the other side of the swing arm. SO far i like the finish of the paint it looks good, much better than how the swing arm used to look see previous photos.
