Now that the holidays are over it's time to start restoring my /5. I bought the bike for $600 2.5 years ago from one of my patients the second owner. He had the bike since 1974,word has it Malcolm Forbes was the original owner. The bike did not run for about 1 year when I took possession . When I brought the bike home I knew it would not run due to the fuel in the tank resembled dark icetea. So A quick carb rebuild Fluid flush prep and she fired up. The bike ran OK but the clutch splines seemed dry,this prompted me to lay the bike up until I was ready to redo the bike.
Details to follow regarding step by step restoration. I plan to retain the original paint of the frame and fuel tank, fenders. I will redo the bright work etc
