w00t! Picked up my "new" bike today! Took it to the mounds, the power is amazing.

1993 XR650L with 5700 miles.

Here are a couple pictures, it needs a good cleaning and maybe some new plastics.

A little more progress, not that anyone cares ::trout::

I sanded painted the rusty white handlebars with the Krylon Rust Stop, this stuff is awsome, I gave it about 1 hour dry time and then I installed them, and the paint didnt scratch.
