Thanks for the input!!

I may just go with what he's used in it since it does look to be in great shape.

I did get it out for it's first ride yesterday... After a serious carburetor cleaning (X4) she is running and sounding absolutely fantastic!

The hydraulic clutch is smooth and easy to engage, I'm going to have to re-calibrate my left hand since it begins to engage only about 1.5 inches from full squeeze... I'm used to cable operated clutch's and usually have them set to engage about an 1.5 from full release.

I'm also going to have to re-learn left foot shifting, I've been riding my Son's 71' Bonneville with right side shift some over the last couple years and it's messed up decades of left side shifting.

Now I'm looking forward to more dry weather and streets... I lucked out yesterday with sunshine and almost 50 degrees!

The V4 makes such delightful whirring noises!
