Some of you may have been following my thread in the vintage section but, I got my first ride in today after a year long restoration. Few kinks to work out but all in all she ran good!!

Looking good. It's crazy to think that sled is vintage. It was new and awesome when I was a kid........

Looks very very nice. Send a pic with the hood up. I'm sure that looks showroom also.

I bought a new one just like that. Rode it for one season and then put triple pipes on it. Rode many trouble free miles on, then up graded to a new one.

Nice work! I love when older sleds/motorcycles..etc are restored back to OEM. Would be cool to see the before and progress pics. Did you find any surprises?

Anytime I restore something I always find some crazy repairs by previous owners..welding, rigged up..crap..

All in all it wasn't to bad. Driveshaft bearing was out. Sled was overall in pretty good shape.
