Iam lucky to be a member of a local classic bike club, i had all the tools except the clutch nut socket and the clutch hub puller....one of the members fashioned up a hub puller for me and supplied me with the clutch nut socket .They're a great bunch of blokes and gals.

I firmly believe the PO lived next to a Bent bike Junkyard and built Victor from a Box of Parts.... 85% '71 rolling chassis, '73 motor/trans with both Kick and E-start. and a '72? frontend? (It's got a single Disk banana brake....) Oh and a Knuckle Horn go figure, it's challenging looking for replacement Bits....

Hell that's all bolt together stuff, till the welder & grinder get involved your living good

My sig bike started life as a bare frame and 1/2 dozen dirty crates at a swap meet, I hear you She's titled as a 72 but I don't think there's an OEM part of that year still on her.

I would think the best tool in the box would be a rider on your insurance for towing....
