First motorcycle/first resto

[Jpwhit1]

My son and I bought this bike for 400.00. It's a 71. Took all bolt on parts off and had a friend powder coat frame. Painted wheels and bought new tires. Thank god for for internet and all the helpful forums. Finding out you can NEVER take enough "before pictures and documenting and labeling everything is key. Kinded headed into home stretch but the closer I get the slower it goes.

Got it looking awesome so far, can't wait to see the finished product.

Looks great, but those rubber boots on the forks should cover the seals!

I know....now.

Hehe nothing wrong aesthetically, but it's more functional further down, and you need the ears for the headlight there!

Just found this in some old pix of me. What year and model is this bike? It was a family friends bike.
