Ok removed the skulls, most of the wings, and other added flare. I guess the original wanted everone to know it was a V-twin from whatever angle they looked at it. Gave everything a good quick cleaning. Looks like everything is going to clean up very well.

Removed rear brake. Looks like the pads and the pins they are on got rusted. Tried to clean up the pins but still sticking. When I get new pads I will take my time and remove the rust.

Did not remove carbs yet going to wait until I get the service book. I did drain the bowls and ran some sea foam threw them for the time being. I am hoping the reason why they leaked is that my friend never turned the petcock to off. Read somewhere that can cause leakage. Will see what happens.

I need to install new turn signal. Found where they hid or ended the wires when the removed them and put more skulls to cover holes.

Air filter elements are shot. Actually they are so degraded it was falling apart just looking at them.

Plug wires are old.

There is on exhaust heat sheild that I will have to remove the bolts on and replace due to rattling. Other than that everything else looks good. Will replace all fluids soon.

Both bikes look nice. But, you did get the better of the deal. Enjoy!
