Hi all,
New to the forum. My dad gave me his old bike and I am working on getting it running. It is a 1986 vt1100 that he purchased new. I am getting it all cleaned up. Just waiting on a battery to see if it runs.I have changed all the fluids and drained the gas. It sat for about 2 years with out running. My plan is new gas with sea foam in it to help with gunk that is probably in the carbs. Any other suggestions? I will try to get some pic's soon.

BTW lots of good info on here.
