There is absolutely nothing wrong with it...but there are several things on it that are not stock ...

The bumpers..the front wheel cover..the muffler...the lights on the side of front fender..virtually everything bolted to the rear fender...

Not stock but popular mods when it was new...I wouldn't even remove them...I would go through great pains to get it like new mechanically with out screwing up the "pantina"

Of old bikes, the knuckle is the only one I find interesting enough to actually want.
I restored a Pan for someone once ...blah , not thanks
Shovels?They are of my era and have owned a few they do nothing for me.
Knuckles- I will pay attn here.
Thanx for the input.

As usual I am the odd man out. Where some are seeing patina, I see filth, crud and too much room to make for a truly awesome bike. But I could rarely leave a bike alone.
