Bought it early this spring. Got side tracked by a pair of CB1100F's (gone now) So I was out of bikes and this hit the fast track on Sunday. Runs good, now for a few around town trips to see what needs tweaking.

Spent quite a few hours on the wheels and spokes.I put the tapered roller bearings in the steering stem and new brass bushings in the swing arm. Also set the swing arm side to side clearance with shims. Pulled the carbs, cleaned em well all new O-rings, Mikes taper jets synced and idle jets out about 2.5 turns. she runs and handles well. Fun ride for the trip to town and the back roads around here.
