Well, as a recovering Ural owner (clean for almost 3 years), I couldn't stand not having a project bike. I saw this bike looking for a home last fall and after a long days' road trip brought it home
Didn't get to spend much time with it over the winter, but it had been well cared for and the PO had just gotten frustrated with trying to keep it running. It was DOA. I spent lots of time reviewing this board and learning from all the gurus on here. The biggest problem was 2+ Volt drop from battery to points! I found and repaired/replaced lots of different wiring issues, installed an electronic ignition and have had a good running bike. Adjusted the transmission to where I *think* it is ok, and am preparing for the next hassle - the title.
The two previous owners had fooled the state of TN into believing it was a 1954 motorcycle. The seller and I both knew better, but it is turning into a struggle to tell NC that it is probably a 1994. Sigh.
Thus I have been limited to riding off road as with no title or tags I can't turn it loose upon the streets.
