Hey,
I joined a year ago and finally can do an intro. I have been searching for awhile. As of Thursday evening, I am a SOHC owner.
I found a 78' dresser. Terrible maintenance. Most broken things were wired or glued back together. Must have used 40 grit paper on the tank and on the #4 header pipe for some reason. I started it up and it sounded like it had gravel in the valvecover. I told him I would pass. I back out to leave, and he runs out wanting me to make an offer. I guess I offered too much at half his asking price, because I now own it.
It definitely isn't a restoration candidate. So, this weekend, I tuned it, bobbed it, lowered it, painted it, and rode it. What fun. My summer project is 80% done in one weekend. Guess I'll have to look for another one. The only things left to do are find/install headlight assy, wire it to the minimum, upholster seat, and shine it up.
Have pictures. Guess I'll figure out your posting procedure another day.
Thanks for the site,
Mike
