Well the damn thing didn't run. Lol. Got her all bolted in and of course no spark........ After some choice words figured out a bad stator was to blame. So apart she comes AGAIN Got a bad tether switch and an oil leak fixed and she came to life. Sounds good. Definatley more pull on the rope got the hood mounted and that really finished it off I really like the blacked out tunnel Just need to adjust the carb and mount the air box. Then it will be finally DONE !!!
Will post better pics of it on the snow
Was a fun project
Cheers !

Almost a shame to get them dirty now! Mines a 78 with some need of electrical parts.

That is funny did you text me about a stator and cdi late last night?
