Here's a link to...
Big Red
She's a 1980 SG with an engine from a 1978 Standard. Smokes a little when started but runs strong. Restoration is almost complete as I still need to replace the fork seals and rear shocks but otherwise in good shape.

Pictures of "Barney" to come soon...

Big Red looks pretty good. If it has a 78 engine, then what carbs are you using?

[MikesBike]

It's using the carbs from the '78. I piped it through filters straight to the petcocks.

I like it!!!!!!!!! It's amazing to me just how sweet some of these 25 + year old bikes can look. Nice job.

Thanks for the compliment! I've spent a lot of time on her and she still needs more work but I'll "git er dun" some day .
