Nice, but very low! Managing corners OK?

 

[Fndirtygreaser]

Thanks. Low and slow is how we like to do it here in SoCal.
I manage to turn fine. I ride this bike a lot so im very familiar with it. Also choosing correct lines when turning helps.

Love the front end.

 

[Fndirtygreaser]

I was a bit hesitant due to many stories of it bouncing around like pogo stick. Decided to try a shock and it rides smoooooth!! Less vibration at handle bars as well

Gumpy,
As they would say here in Maine, "That's a spiteful looking bike" You did well on that purchase.

Plans for her are
Headlight /old skool stop light /battery box hide the electrics in a cylinder oil tank
And have a go at scotchbrite the polish work
Was going to do a candy apple red on the tin work but think I like the Matt black

That is awesome...I love seeing all original survivors like that.

They're getting more and more rare every day.

Thank you for not making a street tracker out of this one!

I will never cut this one up..

Ive got those same pipes. Did you mount them at all underneath? if so how did you do it?

 

[Fndirtygreaser]

Welded a tab on pipes. That mounts underneath my peg area. But mount broke since I hit my gate rail that's only about an inch high everyone I take my bike out. Lol. Love the sound of the pipes though. Deciding if I want to go custom or just keep these till they fall off.
