Congrats! Now that will give you something to do with your retirement time...and money lol

That's a gem - aside from all the pitted chrome. A shame it only got a couple thousand miles on it - and then was left to rot.

The chrome on the speedo and other trim, those will probably be the worst to deal with. Otherwise...what you have is a rideable classic there.

Give it a good life. It makes me think of a late-middle-aged spinster, who discovers so late the joys of making whoopie...

Congrats, Ole! She's a real beauty.

Wow ! The paper of the air filter is still one piece after all that time. What a beauty !

Great find, Ole!

MTC, hope backing out of the contract wasn't too expensive.

Those air filters look good until you touch them. Already ordered 2 new filters with new rubber boots from California. $100

researching carb kits on eBay they are not expensive at all

Ole, that is a really nice find. It will make a really nice rider once you go through the mechanicals and clean it up a bit. I've had perfectly restored classics before, but the 'rider' class machines are better to own if you plan on riding it. Worrying about every little imperfection on a perfect bike is kind of a fools errand if you ask me. Have fun with it!

Snowing like crazy here in Wisconsin today. I got bored and headed to the basement. The old girl looks a little different.



That rust pile came out of the mufflers



I need to get my Fluke out and check some continuity in some wires this looks like the only bad spot



Taking the gas tank to work to clean out some fine rust and a tiny amount of shellac. I will start with simple green then vinegar if that don't cut it some paint thinner will
all diluted with some hot water
