The one on the blue frame is what we might call the silvertag version...as you said, only the earliest bikes had it there.

Yeah but it’s not a silver tag...it has a black i.d. Tag and the fork stop is the common one..I was told the silver tags have z50 style fork stop?. Another weird thing is the one other one I saw with the tail light wire going in the top of the frame was a black tag..it was a factory red 3 speed but it had a gold base coat under the candy red...not silver!!!factory paint...explain that!!! Lol

Getting closer but I am struggling with the wiring.

 

[Gplracer]

Mostly done. The wiring is sorted out and it runs great. I have a new throttle tube on order. My old one had some bends in it and it binding with the grip on.

Thanks I really appreciate it.

One of these days when I come across a frame that’s not worth a full restoration I would like to do something just like this.

 

[Gplracer]

My brother got one too. He is right behind me.

 

[Clayton]

Yeah he is, is he gonna do anything different to his?

His is going to be just like mine.
