Sweet Ronald! New tires too. only thing is the valve stem is a whole lot easier to reach when it is facing the chain side.   What is the oblong/trapizoidal 'box' to the right in the picture?  Congrats!

Were those taken in front of a clown house? Only a clown car would fit in that garage!

Dog, the photos above were taken by the seller, probably at his pad in Boca Raton FL. (East Coast of FL and a skip hop and jump north of fort liquordale) A cycle trader advertisement.  Ronald sure picked a fine day to pick up his new ride. Yesterday was wet. Tomorrow (Sunday) is supposed to be too. Today the temps start out in the 60's and will approach the 80s with loads of Florida sunshine. Happy motorsickling today Ronald!

Congrats, I know how you feel I found my barn find in September. Very nice looking bike. Lots of shiny extras.That seat looks really comfy too. I would have the same question. What is that thing in the picture. Is it on the clutch cable? Have you gotten an answer yet? Be greatful you live in an area that you can enjoy it this time of year.

Moe, the trapezoidal thing is A Moose racing easy pull clutch system. Some of the eldery riders seem to enjoy them. I have to admit, it is pretty nice. I can pull the clutch with one finger on the lightest setting.

Now that I see those bags on the bike, I think seller may have posted a time or two on this site. I've seen that bike before.

LOL that is funny. A Moose Clutch Kit runs $40.00 I like it. I think Bull is calling me Old. Seems like a better investment than the $60.00 Speed cable loop.
