Restored by: Owner
Painted by: Owner
Almost a parts bike when I bought it. Most of the parts are either new or NOS or refurbished by me. New rims with rebuild hubs, master cyl and caliper rebuilt. Shows 130 lb compression in each cyl. Changed valve shims, put electronic ignition. Painted candy green with 2k clear. Stripes are hand painted with urethane enamel and clear coated over. Rebuilt carbs. Actually the only thing left of the original bike is the frame, engine, tank & body panels (which I painted), headlight housing, master cyl and brake caliper, forks which I rebuilt. Bringing this bike back to life was the most fun I've had in years.
