Finally riding a big boys bike
Picked this one up a few months back. I'm the third owner. The original owner won this in a news paper contest. He owned it until about two years ago. I'm going to paint the tank and rack to match the rest of the bike and add the patina to match the original. Cool bike and story

Nice looking bike, I think I would leave the tank off looks better without it.

I painted the tank, not to correct design. I wanted to do a quick and easy to see if I could get the paint to match first.
