I took it to a carwash, sprayed it down with degreaser and it still has a lot of built up gunk on it.

A little dented up on the tank, have not looked inside yet though.

The tags expired a year ago, so I guess it ran till then. My intentions are to do a complete restore on it with some custom fab stuff along the way. I want it to sit as low as possible and be pretty unique over all.
Congratulations!!! better start soaking the carbs in a bath of SEAFOAM!!! :cool:

Exactly what I was thinking! Hoping to track down 4 coffee cans and just break each one down and soak it for a LONG time! LOL
Looks like you have a "little" oil leak up front too.. Maybe soak the whole motor in Seafoam :lol:
You got to love a "putty" colored seat though..
Good deal, you knew it needed some work.. But can surely become a phoenix!!!
Picked up this "frame" also. This is a 1982, so it has a 750cc motor. Hoping the cams match and I will have myself a slightly bigger engine for the final project!

It has the wheels I recently bought off of ebay! LOL, figures.

Looks like you will have a nice winter project!!!
Yep. I think my wife agreed to it so I would clean the garage. As the photo's show, I have not started yet! LOL.
I've attached some part numbers for those cams. If you haven't found out yet the '84 V45 is a little different than the other years, some parts will interchange while others are no where close.

cool, thanks, according to that they are they same. :-D I thought they would be. From what I have read/heard they changed from 750cc to 700cc due to import taxes in 1984.
But, yes, 1984 is a strange year. Some things from earlier years and some from later years fit, but not everything for sure. Here are the engine markings I discovered earlier. I had never noticed this on the side of the head before.

LOL. That is the first thing I thought when I downloaded the pics too.
