Ok so my old bike, which I sold to a friend who lived near the water had been submerged for a day or two with salt water.

Since he got a nice big fat check from fema for it he is not inclined to fix it himself and offered it back to me.

Yay, a new project.

I'll take some pictures along the way.

If anyone has any advice or a spare part that I may need along the way cheaply please speak up.

I'm thinking of simply stripping it down, cleaning everything, might as well paint the frame while I'm at it. All new bearings, probably a new wiring harness and just cleaning the hell out of the internals, hoping there isn't too much salt corrosion.

What do you guys think?

Also, just in case the engine is toast, what other motors will bolt into this chassis?

 Good luck! If you take it all the way down you should be good, butt I would worry about the wiring harness.
