Amazing find!!!!

Every collector should be so lucky to have a daughter like that! Nice score. I vote to keep it as is without motor as well. Looks super sharp.

I agree, that is a great bike with a nice finish. Keep it like it is. You taught your daughter well.

Very nice. I think I would go sans motor.

If it has the belt indentations on the inside of the rear stays I would totally start looking for a Whizzer kit. Looks like it has the HD Whizzer spring already too. I've never seen those motor special tires. Its an awesome find, and deserves to be finished.

Low humidity in Montana I take it?

I'm bumping this thread up after 5 years because I have decided to install an H motor and Whizzer kit on this bike since that was what it was intended for. I have it up and running but the clutch set up still needs some work. It's a real solid tight rider, once I get this clutch dialed in I should be good to go.

It only took five years, but it's happening now.
