    A great bike to ride, does just about everything I ask of it, and more.

    Incredibly versatile, can go from a fully faired, luggage loaded cruiser into a slimmed down, wind in yer face speed demon with about 30 mins work.

    Best investment in my own happiness I have ever made.

    Nice! Where did you get the show cover for the carb intake box? Where you able to find replacement show chrome top covers for the outside carbs? Or did you just polish them? Advice for my restoration?

      They came on the bike as well from the PO. I have however seen them pop up on ebay and at a local salvage yard. Some say "650" on them, not sure which model that is correct for. Im a rookie myself when it comes to restoration haha I just try to clean the chrome parts a lot to keep em shiny. Emery cloth and elbow grease brought some life back into my headers, they aren't chrome so they dont shine up well.

      The outside carb hats are just in good condition still. I cleaned them up with some rust remover and then just polished them with a soft buffing wheel, but again that is something that came in pretty good condition from the previous owner.

      What is it like generic chrome auto trim?

      Check out the test zone forum, I made a thread called chrome trim with a close up of the trim end and clip
