I bought this back when I first joined the form and I sold it to Leroy and now I got to restore it. I think it turned out nice and the color is the original, beautiful candy blue. It fired on the first kick and runs fantastic. Charlie did the crank as usual and it is smooth. Don did the gauges as usual too. I'm still waiting for the tach decal and the side cover badges which were ordered 2 months ago and the helmet hook decal and the oil cover sight glass grommet. I found an nos owners manual but the map case is destroyed and I can't find one. I tried to use the bulk picture uploader but I did it backwards, just start at the bottom and scroll up. ;)

Thanks guys. It seems like a lot of triples but this one is only #11. It will look a lot better when the emblems are on it.

Top notch work as usual! Too bad mother Kaw in her infinite wisdom ruined the 73's looks with that terrible tail section.

And... I never cared for the yellow stripe on that color.

The bike is fantastic :clap:

The fork tubes were changed out and nos installed. I'm a little surprised nobody noticed the short blinker stems on the front blinkers. I didn't have the long ones when I put the front together and I haven't switched them yet.
