    my first restoration...

    how ya guys doing this is my first post here. i have been lurking here for a little while but i just finished my first bike and wanted to see what u guys think. i am 20 years old and have loved these things since i was younger. my girlfriend has been bugging me about wanting one so i got to it and busted my ass for the last couple months and here is my final product. everything is original with hours of buffing sanding and painting except for the tires and seat. i rebuilt the top end to freshen up the motor and it is an amazing little bike. would love to hear opinions...

    Great!

    That's your first resto? I've gotta say, you've got talent - it looks great!

    Like the body colored rims - that's a neat custom touch.

    I can just imagine how well you'll do after some "practice". Excellent work
