Dramatic Backstory:
I bought my first C10 in April 2017, an '02 with 48k on the clock. Loved it. Long story short(end), it's been to the back trails of West Virginia (yes, I offroaded my Connie, shame on me), Canada, Kentucky, and North Carolina, sometimes with sometimes without a trailer, and after 20k miles, my baby has failed me. The main fairing stay broke, the bevel drive leaks and the clutch slips at highway speeds. So at a meer 67k, I stripped the fairing and made her a naked sport-tour. Love it. Pulls on 1000's, looks like a crappy old cruiser. Bought myself a new (yes, zero miles, new) KLR and upfitted it for long haul tripping, but I miss my Connie. With the fairing stay gone and no simple solution in sight, I bought a 1991 C10 with unknown miles (title says 65k, odo says 48k, so who knows for sure). Not running, in several boxes.
The Plan
Once the bike is operational, I'll have a welder reinforce the fairing stay where it broke on the 02. I'll install all previous accessories from the 02 to the 91 (crash bars, trailer hitch, etc.). I'll also move the front forks from the 02 to the 91, so I can have the superior brakes and wider front wheel. I'm going to move all of the 02 plastics to the 91. Essentially, it'll be a 91 in an 02's clothing. '
