So a while back during my 87 PFT build my cousin brought me his bike that had the only known parts left to my original PFT back in 87. They were the OGK performer mags, but they were on a cool bike. After help from you folks we ID'd it and now Im on a mission to build it.

How I got it:



Unfortunately the seat mast was cracked from the seat being way to high and ridden. So I contacted an old  that has a metal shop and was told he could weld rather well. So I dropped off the General along with an 86 GT Pro Performer and an 88 GT Performer that needed to have the mast's repaired as well. After he saw the break on the RL he wanted to just replace the whole pipe made the key hole. So I ordered a length of 4130 and made the key hole.

The Break:



The New Mast:



So friday night he dropped off one of the GT's that he repaired. I was impressed. I cut off the old broken pipe about a half inch above the factory weld:


So now a little relieved that he is great, I couldn't wait to get the RL back. Well he dropped it off this morning:


He had to fill the area of the horseshoe as it was rotten inside the weld.


So happy with the results I am anxious to get this rolling:
This is the end result I am going for, but am having a hard time to find the correct colored decals. So if someone finds a set let me know!!!


I will update as I progress through the build!
