The Sun Sometimes Shines on a Dog's Ass
As I have previously stated I have more free time than good sense right now, and whilst perusing the job postings on craigslist I knuckled over to the motorcycle listings and found what must surely be a joke/scam/prank. A 1972 Harley-Aermacchi Sprint 350, semi assembled, complete, free to a good home. FREE? A free Harley (sort of) in Florida? I emailed him from an old email account I keep handy so potential spambots don't get wind of my real addy, and lo and behold the guy emailed back a phone number and home address and said come and get it. Drove down last night to pick it up, the guy was an avid vintage racer running a CB350 with AHRMA, was given to him by a fellow racer and was gonna build another racebike but his wife decided one bike in the living room was enough, so now it sits in my carhold, just waiting. Got some chores around the house to take care of today, but hopefully will get to clean some of the parts and give it a thorough going over this afternnon. Dog bless my wife for actually being pretty excited about this, as well.
From what I can see it is pretty complete, minus a few odds and ends, and of course the piston is stuck but I've got time for some penetrating oil to do what it does to help that out.

Just my $.02, don't make it too pretty, just clean it up a little, spend the time and money on mechanical stuff , and just spray flat clear coat right over the rust. 
That's a great find. Good for you.

Good deal Dave, didn't you say it came into your shop as a speedway bike, or was that something else?
Yeah I still can't believe I scored this, years ago my neighbor had a Yam Vision he got when his brother had passed away, original owner, 9k on the clock and only wanted $20 for it. I kicked myself for a long time for not just rolling that right into my carhold, but this makes up for it. Right up until I actually met the P.O. I kept thinking the guy was gonna hit me up for money once I had it loaded. But he was upfront about it being very rough and in pieces, very knowledgeable about bikes in general on the phone adn in person once he showed me the CB1100f in the driveway and the CB350 racer I knew he was the real deal. Last night I stuck the wheels back on so it looks a little more like a bike, balanced the engine so it will hold PB Blaster on the rings evenly, so a work in progress. I was thinking of a stripped down tracker style, since it was halfway designed that way from the factory and it needs so much stuff taken off due to rust anyway, well hell even better.

Man! Not only did the sun shine on the dog's ass but it puckered up and kissed yours!! Nice one. Free is the best way. I was just looking at an old english vintage mag and there was an article on a guy who built one from pieces. Good luck with the rebuild.

That's along the right lines, although that bike has a CR racing frame. I have been doing some research while waiting for the engine to break loose. Patience is a virtue, I am trying to do this more methodically than my aborted H1 so I end up with an actual completed project for once.

Re: The Sun Sometimes Shines on a Dog's Ass
How about resurrecting a thread from 2009?
Took the engine cases from this old bike over to a local shop to get them vapor blaster, and while it was away I pulled apart the oil pump and it gave it a thorough going over.
Going back to the beginning, the original piston was destroyed having been seized/welded to the bore, so I bought a NOS 1st-over piston & rings and had the cylinder bored to match.

Re: The Sun Sometimes Shines on a Dog's Ass
The day! It's the day!!
You've finally gotten around to the project that'd been sitting around for over a decade and that you were gonna get around to some day!
You did it! You crazy bastard, you actually did it!
That blasted engine looks like something straight out of the factory, verrrry purrrdy.
You gonna paint it?
I don't necessarily mean fanciness (though I've recently come to appreciate engines painted to match the tank or suchlike). Like, motorcycle-colored cylinder/head for better thermal management? Crankcase that matches the motorcycle-colored frame, maybe?
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

Re: The Sun Sometimes Shines on a Dog's Ass
Fuck if I know, it’s already gone back up on the shelf until I can get the crank actually built.
There is about 1000 acres of undeveloped forest on the edge of my neighborhood and I hear ATVs and dirt bikes out there every weekend, so part of me just wants something to play in the dirt with. Another part of me wants a flat-track inspired bike. That final call is still too far into the future
