Hmm, I uploaded them with my iPad and they're upright as I see them.

Edit: After checking them on a different computer, I see you're right. I see others are turned as well. I've fixed all those most recent. Thanks for pointing that out. Looks as if I can't use my iPad to add photos to the site.

LM, is the handlebar correct or is it from a CL?

Tis a bit tough to tell as to the bars.
Would like a pic of the cross bar welds to know better. ......lm

LM, here are some photos of the welds.

In other CB news, I've removed the sissy bar and straightened the shift lever, which was quite twisted. It's still a bit sloppy, but I don't know whether that's normal. I don't intend to restore this bike right now, but simply enjoy it. When the CA is finished, running and on the street, the CB will have its day.

Part of what I like about this project is that I'm constantly learning. Thanks for that.
