Well,
It took a few months, but I'm ready to kick her over for the first time; just need to work out a few last details.

Happy Wrenching…!

I'll second the 'Looking good' .
I really like that you left the 'patina' alone , other than cleaning .

Mine was farther gone or I'd have done the same .

Post a video of the first run . We love a good movie. ;)

After numerous trials and tribulations, I finally got her running, I'm attaching a super short video of her running.
Wayne is out of air cleaners & so, I think I want to wait on it's first run until then.

Enjoy!

Thanks Rick,
I will follow up with Jim.

Also, wanted to thank everyone that helped and entertained all of my questions along the way in getting the bike to this point.
