Welcome!  That bike looks like it just needs the proper internal throttle controls and handgrips.  That will be an easy one to get back running again.  What part of Florida?  With that screen name I assume you do a little shooting?

Safety Harbor FL is home...aside from the throttle assembly it appears complete. My plan was to clean up what needs cleaning to get it running and operating correctly and leave it with the original patina.  And yes we do firearms for a living safetyharborfirearms.com

Welcome to the site!  Another great ole ride.  Post your frame number and I will get you added to the registry.  Pretty much an unmolested ride that's great to document!
