    Just finished this resurrection this past Saturday. Completely torn down, frame painted, tank painted, new frame/wheel bearings, new NOS speedometer, etc, etc, etc... So clean, I don't think I can even ride it -- I guess that's what the 83 430WR Milk Truck is for, eh?..Both are excellent, but I actually always liked the "thinner" feel/ergos of the 82's when compared to the 83 WR's. Anyway, it's done. Now to finish a 79 KTM 400 GS80 and a 73 DKW 125 Enduro. Seems like it never ends! :)

    Picked up the 79 KTM 400 GS80 a couple of weeks ago. It's in good condition, and just needs some routine maintenance and good a cleaning & detailing. Except for the motor (which is in great condition -- thank GOD !) the bike is almost completely torn down right for cleaning, maintenance and detailing. Tonight I just finished rebuilding the forks. The only thing I need to make it complete is a centerstand -- I'll be purchasing that next week.

    Also have a fully restored 78 400 MC5/GS (pictured below with the Enduro tank removed) -- but it's too clean to ride too! LOL!! (I know, I know what's the point of having them if you're not going to ride them??? -- Can't answer that question -- hahaha!!).

    The Deek (not pictured) is at my buddy's house for a little frame and fab work.

    2nd pic is the rest of the herd. Bought the minibike for 2 good neighborhood kids (brothers) -- They love it!

    Nice bike, the engines are great heaps of power but not overly scarey.
