Hi Joe and welcome,
nice bike! Same like my Canadian Heritage except, not quite.
Mine came stock with chrome fenders, gauges etc. and cast wheels.
And if you are dickering for the lower side panels, they are a rare thing to find as most of them have fallen out on the street.
I see the stock rototiller bars in the background, saving them for a windchime, eh?

Actually those are the stock bars off my 74 cb125 that I swapped onto the bike. The bars on the bike in the pics are cut down stockers that were welded slightly crooked..
But ya! Wind chime in the works

Nice score Joe!
The Heritage Specials are special in their own right and someday may get the recognition and the maintaining of what they are solely for what they are......had to change mine up lol.
64 front and 48 rear spoked.....highly desirable to many.
Welcome aboard!

Hi nj,
not sick of cleaning the bastards yet?
I swapped out my artillery wheels for the (even better looking) '75 deep groove aluminum rim wire wheels strictly for their looks.
Swapped back again after using up an entire tube of Solvol Autosol on them.
That, and wire wheels can't use tubeless tires.
