Sanjuro,
The 2001 Elite SR is not mine, it belongs to my wife Angie!
We bought it last year, and it was a complete
disaster. My boss at the shop was just going to part it out because it had been mistreated and destroyed. The engine was locked up, all plastics cracked and scraped with road rash, it was missing a ton of parts, some parts were just boxed up since the previous owned could not get it back together, and everything that was salvageable needed extreme cleaning.
Actually though, it's terrible condition was just what I was looking for, because I wanted a scooter Angie could fully rebuild and restore for her to ride. -She is actually an awesome mechanic, herself! She stripped it down, and began the process of cleaning and rebuilding.
Here is a couple of pics of when she got it down the the bare frame:

All I helped her with was some of the damaged wiring, mounting the engine, and installing the rings on the piston.
I am so proud of her!
Thanks for the compliments, again.
Later, jon
