It's been restored—and apparently to a pretty high standard—with the intention of making it look like it just rolled out of the showroom. Does it look like they hit the mark? Regardless, I think it's gorgeous. More pics here.

Looks 100% pure stock to me. That's a beautiful bike! Thanks for sharing the pics.

I’ve always wanted a 69 as it is my birth year. I’ll take it.

Nice how nostalgia reverts back to stock. The FL also shows why many stockers were modded, the seat is hideous but today it is curiously beautiful.

I'd say you never rode that seat. Ever get a chance, you might think differently.

I believe the handlebar grips originally were white .

The original seats had a small pair of coil springs bracketed to the bottom seat pan at the rear. They were hinged to swing in place when riding two. Kept it from bottoming out.
