This is the bike as she appeared before I brought her home. She was a non-runner, as she had been sitting in the shop of a collector for about five years.
TeeCat nice ride. I was over at a guys house that I met and was noticing the compression release lever on his right bar on his 73. I can't tell if you have that? Wanted to know a little more about it.

Thanks, guys! Pumps, I do have the lever. It opens a valve port and recuces compression, and engages an electric starter. That're notoriously weak, though, so I kick it.
