Recently purchased a 78 for my wife. She loves it. Seems like a good starter bike.

ive seen that bike around. I recall a guy at a swap meet had it for sale and also saw it on Marketplace for a while. If I recall it had some pretty nice parts on it. You aren't too far from me. I live Roanoke, IN (between Huntington and Ft. Wayne)

Oh cool! We bought it from a guy in Peru. It’s a very nice build! We’re just having trouble finding neutral when it’s hot. Just ordered an aluminum push rod for clutch from Greg. Hoping that will fix it. Otherwise it’s a solid bike.
 
The aluminum pushrod improves clutch adjustment problems. It may or may not make neutral easier to find. It is a improvement over the stock set up.
