I would agree, except being a full time college student, it would be for me to justify such a project. I would like to get it running, but probably can't afford a full resto at this time. If I manage to get a job, then I think the money would be better spend investing in a new bike as it would be my only transportation.
Putting all that aside, I'm worried the stator may be bad, and removal of the stator requires engine removal. I don't have the tools nor the garage for that sort of job.
From what I've read after I obtained the bike, common engine maintenance requires engine removal. Yuck.

Second, it's BOBBER TIME!
If you don't plan to restore it, chop it!

I hope to do something! got those damn carbs out, what a PIA, worse set of carbs on anybike I've ever seen. Getting jazzed, I'm optimistic on getting her to fire.

I rode a friends Vulcan 750 back in the day. I was impressed with the bike, was pretty peppy for a 750 twin. I like the bobbed look posted above, would look sweet with a modern USD fork with dual disks. Look forward to your ride report.
