This is a project we recently completed for a client in South Australia.  Originally found in Rochester NY, shipped down-under and after a lot of man hours transformed into the Mauler.

Love the name - The Mauler! Interesting exhaust system and that front tire is frikken HUGE!!

Finally got this one wrapped up. Wanted to keep this as stock as possible. I had never done anything quite this in depth and I learned a lot by doing so.

I will not be in a hurry to take on another project that is so rough to begin with but this bike gave me something to do during COVID and is as old as I am so it will always be a special one to me.

Very nice, stay safe and enjoy it ..if you have collision coverage be sure your insurance coverage is going to reflect the value of your restored bike...stated value policies are available from some insurance companies...
