Missing Parts

Post by wa1nca »

You forgot to put the saddle bags and sidecar on
At least they are not on backwards or upside down !!

Otherwise see no other problems
Looks great
Keep up the good work

Nice! I think Vech sells little plastic inserts for the holes in the rear fender. Or you maybe able to find some decent plastic part at one of the big box hardware stores.

305

Post by skychs »

Very nice for a partial restoration
A+++
Have fun riding and its ok to get it dirty

PS
305 Scrambler
The boot for the clutch cable is not properly installed
The front tire air pressure also is too low
Went to Motogiro in Brattleboro Vt last year
Also brought my r27 to Hancock Ma. twice
Lots of nice bikes and people
Pics of saddle bags when installed

Tommy, you are incredible. Thanks. I guess it really wasn't a partial restoration after all was it? It was my intention but my passion talked me into doing it right. I love the old bikes and I guess I always will. Don't worry, Ill get it wet and dirty. You should have seen the 305 after the last Giro in NY. It rain (poured) the entire second day. Less than half the crowd showed up. It made it easy to win. :-)

Now, in regards to the CL77. That was a photo op before the bike was finished, just like the ones of the /2 in my last post. Im surprised you didn't see the headlight wasn't secured. Got ya! Anyway, the clutch cable now runs inside the tank AND there is good air in the tires. What a great little bike. I love riding that thing. My first bike as a kid was a 305 Super Hawk.

Photos of the Enduro bags may take awhile. I still have the original mounts but Im not sure I want to mess up my nice paint job to install them. There are a couple after market mounts that may work so I will keep you in touch.

Thanks again for all the advice, comments and recommendations. Keep them coming.

You have really good taste in bikes!

See you in Asheville, and if your unobtanium aluminium fenders come up missing, I have no idea what happened......

nice restoration!

two things, consider passenger seat that attaches to rack, less chance of rear fender damage

your rear brake pedal should be painted black
