Thanks, I was trying to make a thread that did not have all the extra bullshit but glad you still enjoyed it. I have had quite a bit of fun doing this bike and it seems like most of my life I have been restoring something.

Thanks, but it is not finished yet. Going to pull the engine and transmission someday to detail, reseal them and a new wiring harness. I have basically have all the original parts except the exhaust so I am content for now. I may show it someday, I know it will not be a show winner but people can see it and enjoy it and I will have fun being out and about. It is a running and every thing works bike now though.
