I happened into an '83 Ascot. It looks decent for its age and I got it for a fair price. It had set for about 5 years and would not crank at first. I wanted to freshen the starter but could not get it out so i just lubed the starter drive. Got a new battery and it started right up. It was tweaked over the years I am pretty sure. The carb is a slide/needle Mikuni that has a small plate stating "Not for aircraft use" so I am guessing that is not stock. K-N air filter, superbike bars, and Supertrapp exhaust are on as well. Leaking fork seals are also there and I could not get the fork bushing back in right so I am going get a driver and new bushings along with the seals. The front tire is leaking at the valve and someone tried to silicon it up so I am doing the front tire at the same time. No rush to get it done but I am a little anxious to get it out on the road. Really feels so light and nimble. I am looking forward to the project and I will be asking a lot of questions.
