Great find! Looks to be in great shape...no rust on the fork tubes, front wheel looks great, 16" rear correct?

Let's hear your plans!

It was from a friends dads barn. It was last ran 25 years ago. He had 4 over tubes and a 16inch rear with hog tire which were both in bad shape. It had ram horn bars, sissy bar, and king and queen seat. I had another 750 that i couldnt get the title for so i found this and transferred my parts. I put my drag bars on and put my stock rear wheel on, i kept the lowering blocks that were already there and rebuilt the carbs. it started up and blew a mop out of the Kerker exhaust but started right up. I just cleaned out the tank with the kreem tank kit and lined it so i should be on the road this weekend.

Anxiously waiting for the 24 hours of the tank liner dry time to fuel up the bike.
