    New Paint Ready to Roll

    got the 80 SG ready to roll, think I fixed the jumpy tach, ran a extra ground wire from reg/rec to battery frame ground (clean tight connections) probably doesn't hurt either



    where are we going, and why are we in this hand basket?

      Very tight and clean looking machine. I am not usually one for the bagger style but your bike looks all business and no fluff. I like it.

      Once you un-can a can of worms, the only way to re-can them is with a bigger can.

          Don't u boys know yellow is the color of death? Or is it green? Old H-D superstitions... Never stopped me from riding a yellow Suzuki or green Kawasaki. Either way, the bike looks good!

              What fairing is that?
              Bone stock 1980 Special except for the exhaust and crashbars. Oh yeah, and the scabbard for the Winchester Defender.

                      Nice job, the yellow really stands out. I love seeing these old bikes taken care of and kept on the road.
