Those H1's are incorrect, because they are both far better than a new stock '69 or '70 H1. The paint on the frame and panels is thicker and more lustrous, the mufflers are more polished, etc. etc. I wish I could build something half that good, but they are not really "accurate". How does one define 'correct' or 'accurate'..........? :think:

I,d be scared to take them outside. I like to to restore them so they are nice but not so nice they look like jewelry and your scared to touch them, or god forbid to ride them on a rainy day.
They are so perfect if I could afford them they would be art in my place to be viewed and appreciated for what they are, immaculate restorations better than they ever rolled off production lines.
I,m in awe of people who turn out work like that.
