Picked this up a couple weeks ago in Salinas. I won't be doing a full restore on it, just getting it reliable and cleaned up a bit. It currently is running a strong 750 / 4 speed combo with the 850 / 5 speed needing a rebuild in boxes. Things I'll need so far are: pipes/silencers, left battery cover (black, I have a white Ambassador one that I'd rather not paint), left cylinder head, barrels and pistons. I'm sure I'll find other needs but so far that's it.
Here's the kicker, there's obviously a white Ambassador out there running around with a black left side battery cover. I need to find this bike and swap my cover for his.
Lot's of wiring work ahead and an eventual rebuild. It's a gas to ride and has only left me stranded once. Well, 5 times, but it was all on one ride. Funny things happen when points close up and gas tanks don't vent......
