     Here it is! Like I said I'm not really sure what "category" my bike fits into other than "mine" Haha I had a 74 eldorado daily driver and got tired of spending 120 bucks in gas a week so I traded the Caddy for the bike. Bike came out of Rochester Indiana and was pretty much apart when I got it.It came with two different tanks a few sets of handle bars.two sets of wheels and tires,a few different seats, and a bunch of other totes with parts in them. A few weeks later this is what I ended up with. I have had the carbs worked on by my carb guy,painted one of the tanks that someone had started shaving the emblems off of.Painted the forks.Ditched the front fender,got rid of the front brake( I dont want to hear it Haha).wrapped the exhaust in header wrap,painted the wheels(pain in the A$$).took out the speedo,rewired the headlight and tail light to a switch.removed the turn signals,painted the rear fender,got a MUCH smaller tail light,new throttle cable,new fuel lines,New clutch cable,new battery,new headlight,and numbered the side covers..Pretty sure thats all I've done to it at this point.HAHA! I've put a couple thousand miles on it and took it to one bike night at Stars and stripes cycles in Danville. Its a fun light weight bike that is really fun to toss around and gets a LOT better Gas Milage than a 500 cubic inch Caddy! Attachments:

I pinstripe so I used One shot sign painters enamel. The paint will probably last longer than the wheel. I'll never do it again I'll tell you that

That was a test..Really looking for a 750. The ad is down now. TOO many people just wanted to text me and talk about it...or trade me a lawnmower or some other things I dont need.. Ill ride it the rest of the summer but have promised her to a friend of mine at the end of the season. Hopefully I can find a 750 by then that I can work on over the winter
