Newport I've been working on

A local guy has some property that we want to use for our rally at the end of September. I found this out when a mutual friend of our mentioned that he had an old "scooter" that he would like to get running again. That "scooter" turned out to be a Newport that was rode hard and put away wet...literally. The gas tank was so varnished on this bike that the engine hard seized on it after I got it running. I emptied out the old fuel and put new in, but I had no idea how much varnish was still sitting in the bottom of the tank. After the 2nd seize, a friend and I decided to give the tank a full Kreem treatment and get it fixed for good.

Now it is running well and it has a new long seat and a couple of new cables. I kind of like the combination of tall bars and a slammed long seat on this bike.
