[QUOTE="ktheake, post: 193306, member: 9816"] Thanks guys - 1 for the replies and I know pictures are very important . I'm an older sort and no cell phone here guys so pictures are a little more time consuming than usual bit I will - like I said yes its real and yes it will provide a good solid view of a stock unmolested 72 Candy Yellow. Right now I'm cleaning it - and it is winter - February- there is snow to Moove around and animals to feed and full time work schedule so please be patient and I will forward them but first a thorough clean is necasary and the odd question as you see above . I pulled both front and rear wheels to clean well and going to just lightly grease the axle shafts and reinstall . So far plating on exposed bolts and nuts has exposed normal aging of plating other than bright on the axle shafts . Rims and hubs are very nice other than an odd line of slight wear of possibly tall grass or a twig that slightly wore a line on the circumference of the rim - easilly compounded . Tires and rubber are very pliable as well as the plug wire - I usually find the coil wire stiff and brittle but I suspect the heat from the cyl and head obviously have not had those heat cycles . This was owned by an older fella - and was used to get him to a fishing spot and it looks to me his last ride was a mucky day as it still had splatters of mud up around the swing arm pivot and lower fender as well as some mud up around the front sprocket . So just let me carefully clean this bike and I will spend some time posting up what you seek - pictures . [/QUOTE]
