You and me both Gene. That orange just screams 70's! Just had mine out last night. Can't stop at a gas station without someone coming up to look at it. Both of ours are still original paint too.

Congrats!  I knew you would get it running.   Might want to check the plugs...just out of curiosity, they may look brand new?

I didn't put in new plugs yet. The plugs now seems fine and the bikes idles great. I went to clean the caliper this AM. However it isn't frozen as I thought. The owner drained the master cylinder and line of all fluid. The pad isn't frozen nor is the piston in the caliper.

Re: Sweet '73 750 find! First Video of the bike unloaded

Here is the first video I made of when I unloaded the bike. It shows all imperfections. I did this to document the before and after process.

You should go give the PO another $100 just for doing that!
