On fathers day I went to visit my kids up in Delaware, surprisingly a friend of a friend of a friend had this beauty in his " Barn" and wanted to get rid of her, the last time it was inspected and on the road was in 1998. I managed to get a really good deal on it and load it unto my trailer. 9 and 1/2 hors later I was home in NC.

 

Nice find ! Cleaned up skippy !
Note it has a "Mustang" tank and someone has swapped in a 16" rear wheel and an earlier drum brake front end

( Spare points in the tool bag picture. We didn`t leave home w/o them )

 

Yes I'm learning all kinds of things about this gem, The Original owner had passed away back in 98 so I didn't get a chance to talk to him about the History on her.

 

Cool find!

Did you do any Army time at Fort Drum?

 

Nice find.

 

I had a 1976 XLCH and it served me well ... Not a fan of the seat ... Have fun with your project ";>)

 

I see N.C. has motorcycle inspections, does that mean you`ll have to add signals and a speedometer ?

 

Nice find, enjoy!

 

Nice! I had a 75 back in the day!

 

Congratulations and good luck.
