Thanks Rick.   I hope to restore back to original or close (might go with non stock color on tank and fenders).   Thinking it would be nice to have one of three I own with an original engine.    Engine has been bored .005 stamped on piston.

Dave ,

Definitely a good start . I see a PO has , once again , made use of the optional pull start .
And , your bike seems to have the same tail light as my '57 .

Mine :



Here's how I finished it ( kinda have to use a bit of imagination to see it , but ... ) :

Thanks for taillight photo.  I was thinking mine was not original. Hope I can find that lens and trim ring.

Dave ,

I'm pretty sure that the tail light is not OEM . It is period correct and was likely available as a replacement trailer light or such .
