Not much special about this one. It was supposed to be a low-buck standard, modified to fit me (I'm short) and suit my riding style. Basically a small, get around town, run for bagels bike. Bars are lowered 3" and narrowed 2". Saddle is lowered 1" and rebuilt with high density foam. The chopped fender is chopped just because I had a neighbor with a saw and didn't like the OEM version. I suppose I'll change my mind about that in the rain someday. I also suppose that I should screw around and figure out turn signals someday, but since the great state of Nebraska doesn't care, neither do I for the time being. Now, if I can just sort out my carb problems....

Very clean, classic, general purpose bike. I wouldn't change a thing on it.
