Your goal to return the bike to like new condition as you would see if you walked into a showroom in 1952 was a resounding success.
It’s fun having a like new bike thats old, especially when it was a top line model.
My Phantom restoration is several decades older than yours so it isn’t quite as pristine, but it still is an eye catcher.
I ride mine often, it’s fun. People who see mine are fascinated, especially if they aren’t jaded vintage bike people. Car guys love it.
Are you riding yours occasionally?
