If you found her in the original condition and brought her back from the 70’s then its all good. Respect for these women is what counts and even though she looks her age ( and great at that ) I bet that she still sends shivers up your spine every time she talks to you.
I hope that she never bites you or cuts off her nose to spite her face. If that every happens I bet that she’ll be sent to the plastic surgeons for liposuction with a nip and tuck.

that’s fine- opinions are like…well, you know…
i “Build”650’s also and the point was if someone is fortunate enough to come across a nice one don’t cut it up.

The paint coverage is well done, front forks with paint is very tasteful. Stock style, I see the reasoning but ugly is ugly. You could get rid of the turn signals, use hand signals or hidden LEDs. We work mostly on Harley Junk ( I can’t help myself to refer to them that way) that stock OEM production motorcycles 1973- are forced to have all the safety items like turn signals and reflectors, YUCK. The bike would be that much cooler without. I watched the movie ” THE CAR” recently, an evil killing machine ( designed by Barris) that way uber cool until you notice it had OEM style turn signals. GREAT… ” I would have survived my encounter with the possessed vehicle if it where not for the distracting and deceptive left signal right turn run over my head diversion”. or ” Yeah ‘The Car ‘is all evil and runs over people and stuff but has great road edict, It signal intent! true or false, it’s EVIL,, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh. Back to your bike, love to see restorations like this, shows respect for the design. I own a shop that is doing a 650. For some reason our submission to this site has yet to be posted. It is on our w/site chopperworks.ca under the rigid page.

Nice job with the powder coating. Keep it stock. There are plenty of ’80 Specials out there to modify.

How much, lol. Untouched standards are getting real hard to find. And yours technically isn’t untouched, but at least it’s not hacked to bits.
