A lot depends on the stanchions and shocks - if they're ok then yes, stick a seat on, bits and pieces and ride t until you can gather all the bits to mod it.

Nice one Mike. With that swingarm I'd be inclined to build it flat tracker style (minimal work required). Looks like you need a loom, lights, seat and horn. Does it kick over OK or are you soaking the bores prior to trying ?

she,s been  ,kicked, over every month or so , all the time she,s been stashed away  engine was rebuilt before she was stashed away and reportedly only done 620 miles,

bores have been soaked  and she,s been turned over with plugs out all valves have been checked and all is  ok,, tank has been power washed out and carbs soaked for a while  then stripped and cleaned ,,(what a job ),, clean fuel in a test tank and she,s run very briefly, then she tried to break my leg and chuck me over the bars,,,  (and i split me best work pants  :-[ :-[  ),, :-[,i,m to old for this game  :-[ :-[  any body got a starter motor for it ???
