help me rebuild my baby
https://www.gofundme.com/8efm7xbg
Please help me fix my baby.. i owned her for a Few days before she caught fire. I only drove her once, had to go to hawaii for some military stuff, and decided to let a friend borrow her. Well, this is what happened. I'm struggling to finish rebuilding her because of my limited income. If anyone could help that would be appreciated greatly..1

its not that bad i have fixed a lot worse = you could switch the wire harness out and power wash the hell out if it and ride it like that
yea i know but your a year away from riding it if you go into it, and a month if you just fix only what it takes to ride it = plus no one will steal it off base
instagram has a chopperswap board for stuff - every wire for the bike in a complete harness is 100 bucks

take the diagram to staples and blow it up to 2 feet by 3 feet so its easy to see and stick it in a walmart picture frame 6 bucks and you can note the plastic with an erasable marker
change all the hoses all of them and the clamps 50 bucks - front brake line 70 bucks with the fluid or the post garage should give you the fluid and a parking spot as its small
change all the fluids - buy a set of china gas tanks and a petcock with new gas caps 200 bucks - the battery may be ok if not they are 100 bucks
if you have a 1000 bucks to spend its up and going in a month

I didn't think it was that bad either.. i did exactly what you suggested, but then once I got into it, the fire did much more damage than originally thought. I pulled off my primary and it melted my clutch, so then I took it to my friends shop and he pulled the head and the insides were damaged from the fire department putting their hose on the fire and it sucked in water.. rusted the jugs, lifters went bad.. all the seals were melted. Basically the motor needs a ground up rebuild now

Outside of the tank looks good, but it cooked it too. Melted the gauge, battery was melted and acid came out. It didn't totally destroy it, but it did some damage. Craziest part is after the fire was put out, according to my friend, bike started back up and ran until it ran out of the little gas that was left. After seeing the inside of my motor, I have no idea how that happened lol these shovelheads want to run I guess
