    Another before and after.....

    I found this '79SF a few miles from my house, sitting for over 30 years in a garage. The bike had 5600 miles; the PO was afraid of it and parked it with 1/2 tank of gas. The mufflers were full of mouse nests, the wire harness was chewed beyond repair, but the engine was spotless internally. $300 and I took it home. Lotsa work since then....



    Since then, lotsa changes....

    WOW, one would be hard pressed to say they are the same bike!! That is a serious transformation.
    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

    When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

      Being retired and having a pretty complete shop at my disposal makes it easier...

              I may be in South Bend next week. Isn't Niles a suburb of SB, just in a different state.
