I agree.
I prefer an older machine to look like it had a life but was well cared for, as opposed to factory fresh and never been used.

The second tank is correct for the bike. I've had good success using modern body-trim adhesive to mount the tank pads...............very similar to BSA and TRIUMPH glue-on pads from the factory. Nice catch on the 'tranny-protector'.

Finally got a few days of warm, dry and calm weather which allowed me to paint and clear the tanks. Won't be long and I'll be able to start. Stand by.....

The last piece of the puzzle.

I finally got the 305 completed. I made a couple of quick videos to show you guys. This is the third time I've started it. I recorded the initial start on my ipad but haven't figured out how to post it from there. Hope this works.
