Thanks guys....pictures really dont do it justice. In person you can see alot more detail as to what all was done.

Thats NOS plastics and the tank is made by Clarke. The rear shocks are works performance nitrogen filled rebuildable shocks and the list goes on and on.

Hey John, very nice, something about the older bikes that just looks great. You got a keeper there, lots of hard work to be proud of.[sm=smiley20.gif][sm=smiley20.gif][sm=smiley20.gif] Maybe a video of you riding the bike is in order, just be careful.
