Hey emzdogz, I am up to 75 miles and am probably about to hit reserve, so I would say around 80 miles out the tank. Myself and my arse are happy with that
Damm, that looks nice Paul!

I own a little Drive-Up convenience store in Ohio, and one of my customers here is a small time collector (@ 10 bikes at a time or so) and kind of a trader type. He had been driving this bike through the store, all dusty and dirty for a few weeks. I had asked him about it and he said it was a "Trading post" find in Indiana. He went and looked at it and bought it on spot and rode it home. I had bugged him a few weeks to sell it to me, which he did ( 3K$ was the lowest he would go)....and I had not really looked it over, but knew what it was and was awestruck at how good of shape it was in, under all the dirt and dust. I mean the chrome has not a spot of rust, and just a little patina on top of the tank to leave it alone.....and it was all original, even the tires and such. I have made several upgrades, mirrors, grips, tires, re-built petcocks, oil/filter change, flyscreen, new headlight bulb (which I agonized over, and eventually figured a way to keep the original look, which is in my Album on here), new wire harness, changed the old single fuse to a modern fuse.......really that is all. I am kind of doing the old....if it ain't broke don't fix it approach to the idea of putting in the PAMCO and what-not.....It rides and runs GREAT! I get so many questions and looks everywhere I go, so it is fun to own this Bike......Really Loving it and taking the time to read up all I can on this site, to keep it running strong for a long time to come. Thanks for the Comments!

Here is a pic the day I bought it with my very excited son! It was a little dirty, and the covers needed a little polishing, but other than that........

We started the engine now, but it needs to be fine tuned some more & need to redo some other minor issues. I have 2 other sets gas caps to match the color scheme that we have not put on the tank yet. My builder took it for a spin, but I haven't yet. Hopefully I can ride it in a few weeks and give a ride update.
