1977:

Picked it up in New Brunswick last fall.

[img




Did a lot of work on her over the winter;

I rebuilt the masters and calipers, and put them back with stainless lines;

[img




Lower handlebars. New tires, controls, cables, halogen headlamp conversion, dyna-s. I de-rusted the tank and coated with epoxy, painted the side covers.

So that's that. Seems to run pretty good. Ill complain about it over in the technical forums.

Cheers
Chris

Thanks, yea I had figured that out about the paint. Not sure if it was a mid year thing or it changed somewhere along the way.
