Kicker pedal incorrect - as well as the kicker arm is also newer - the air filer or lack of made him move the oil filter away - front brake is on th wrong side of the incorrect forks picked out above - fenders look re pop no trim holes but they were going for a military look SO - very 70s chopper lifter block tubes - very odd 3 spring seat that also looks JD in the seat with no pogo that’s gotta be a thril keep straight on turns but maybe it just collapses on the frame maybe - no hi low beam switch left side - no dimmer switch on the dash for the speedo light — just looking not critiquing

I like the way it doesn't look like a fresh from the factory restoration. Looks like a well cared for rider, with the inevitable parts replacements something ridden for decades would usually have. Been a long time since I've fired up and took off on a hard tail Harley with a magneto, manual spark advance, kick starter and foot clutch. Wouldn't want to go very far on one today, like comfortable bikes in my old age, but to experience one of these for a few minutes again, yeah, I'd like that. And then probably say, how in the hell did I ever like these things?

Ready to ride across the country? If it was a 12V Twinkie yes, especially up here where things need to be tougher.
