I agree! I bought mine new and still have it, though it doesn't look quite that good.

Great looking bike! I have a 75' and would like to put some bar's like your's. Can you tell me what they are and where you got them?

I agree on the paint scheme. I bought my '75 new and still love it. It has been reliable and fun to ride. I still have points ignition and it will start with one kick.if tuned properly. Please don't repaint the tin. You have a very good looking tank. They are hard to find in that condition and...

Another thing that came to me is the possibility of this being a dealer mod or service directive?

Hello all, Well I ordered lines today from apex brakes. I ordered what I need to just replace the original rubber ones. 10mm banjo fitting on one end 10mmx1.0 female fitting on the other. I'll report back once I receive them. Thanks for everyone's input and help!

OK, I want to leave both of the stock steel pipe and just replace the rubber hoses with braided lines. Or am I just wasting money for what I'll gain?

OK, Thanks

HI, Do you remember what banjo bolt angle and what female end you ordered? The reason I ask is the only angle I see for the banjo is for 45 deg. and the ones Mike's sells say's it has a 20 deg angle. How important is the angle? The one at the MC on my rider is straight but the one on the parts...
