The Eldo I'm doing now is getting the most exstensive restoration of any

of my bikes yet.

I'm not going into the moter except for the new clutch plates and tranny

with updated you-know-what in the tranny.

Parts can be pricey, like u-joints or gastanks or battery covers, but I
can't see spending over a grand, ever!

That maybe why I always win the 'rat bike' award!

But my bikes are fun, presentable and clean... and cheap!

I'd never disparage someone for building a rider, but there is a
difference between a restoration and getting something roadworthy.

73 Eldo (it runs)
