From Bar Hoppin to AARP. Friends.



http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=747

The 71 & my friend's 74. We rode these same bikes on champagne flights back in the late 70s. The 71 I bought back in 10 from a guy I sold it to in 80 and have been 'dialing' it in ever since. It sat for 30 years. The 74 was kept in the dark under towels and is in the same shape as it was when he put it away. Both are now daily drivers.

Not Corbin, Hinder. As far as my friend & I can tell we are the only one's that have this seat. We bought these seats back in the 70s from a motorcycle place on Gratiot in Detroit. Here's some photos from when I was tearing the 71 down.
