Took some pics last night. Also scanned in the pic from the original purchase in Oct of 74 and my brother sitting on it in April of 84. I plan to put it back to the red on the tins.
Things I noticed (did not look at it very long)
- The speedo cable is off. No clue why or where it is.
- Sissy bar added after market
- custom paint
- tires wrong size and will rub the fenders if I even tried to use them
- I used the kicker by hand slowly for a 1/2 of a stroke and everything was moving so at least it is not siezed up
- front fender was in the other corner of the garage. I assume he tried to put it on and realized the tires were the wrong size.
- some minor rust starting on various areas of the crome

Where would "I" start??? I'd pull the motor, tear it all apart, split the cases, break the flywheels and rebuild it from the ground up. To the frame... I'd add a "weld on" hardtail, lower the front end 2", sell the front fender on ebay and put drag bars on it... then, i'd run the **** out of it... but that's just me...
