They did not spend enough time on the bike for for my taste but it came out nicely. Nice pickup on the small wheel. I did not see that until I reran it (after you mentioned it).

Ii would be nice to know the serial number to see when it was made as opposed to sold. Steel fenders not chrome but chrome exhaust protectors.

What do you see on it that was not correct?

They made it look nice and only in 30 minutes. Make me look like a slacker.

Have a great weekend everyone.

The bike was a 65, small hubs, steel silders, slotted chain gaurd. They certainly got the clutch cable routing wrong, same way they received the bike. Top steering nut wasn't tightened down, hopefully someone caught that!It did come out nice, and $6800 seemed like a pretty fair price. Cracked me up when they were trying to find a front fender at the scrap yard!

Yea, looked like a 65 model to me. It may have been sold and titled as 67. This was common back then. I have a CA77 titled as 69 which is clearly a 67 model and marked 67 on the wiring harness.The $6800 quote was fair but I'll bet they did not realize the cost of the fender and brace!!
