Beautiful as always Rick.
How many bikes have you restored to this level or a bit lower?

Beautiful bikes as usual, not into the repop shocks on the purple one!
Only thing about the red one is where they trimmed the tank decal at the back, left a white edge down there....don't you normally take the decal round the curve a bit?

Again, VERY hit and miss quality, they were on it when I bought the bike . . . . . . . 23 years ago!

I just found this ad on craigslist and looks like someone used Rick's picture.
