    I just bought a new bike..

    I think I'm going to use it until all dark winter months comes and then see if I'm going to restorate her..

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure you could 'restore' that to 'like new' with wax and polish, and maybe a couple of decals.

    nice std non stickered bike ... front mudguard/fender is non std ... nor is the heat shield on the pipe . I took and inch out of the middle of the kickstart to reach it easier when not standing on a crate and i am not short at 5 foot 10.
