Great Project Denis!

My Son dragged a '71 Bonneville home from Oregon a couple years ago.
It was missing a few things... center stand, motor, you know the usual.

We found and stuffed a 750 motor in first... it seized up for unknown reasons (yes, it had plenty of oil in it) and happenstance led me to a recently rebuilt 650 motor that was too cheap to pass up.
We stuffed it in, tuned and it's cranking along well (for a Brit bike) over 500 miles now.

She's overdue for matching paint instead of the current conglomeration of parts.
I'm very impressed with it's torque... there is some vibration, that's how you know it's running.
I'm in a habit of riding back the same route I used to look for parts that likely fell off...
Good times!
First motor stuff event


That right there Son is a kick starter!
