Description
The bike has been my personal project for three years, nd has yielded lots of memorable rides as well as indispensable mechanical knowledge. There's been lots of upgrades, s well as fixes that have made the bike perform as well if not better than when the bike was sold in 1970. One area that's particularly notable is the huge improvements made on the electrical system.
The only issue the bike still faces is low compression, nd I would love to fix the it myself but I've run out of time and so am handing the last bit of the project off to (hopefully) you. The compression can be fixed by a shop, ut if you're mechanically inclined or you're interested in working on engines you should be able to fix it yourself.
Please contact me with any questions.
