42 year old motorcycle

Just wondering if both studs were still on it. Glad all went good.

Both studs on the emblem were there along with one of the "spring clips" to hold the emblem in place.

The chainguard still needs fixing and I have the case guards to add. Been riding around neighborhood. Runs fairly well. I was told by PO the carbs were rebuilt. They seem to be OK, no major issues. I'm running some fresh fuel with seafoam through just because (last registered in 2012). Should replace spark plugs I suppose. Not sure of their age.

What happened to the beautiful backrest. Bike is looking good

Scratches on the sealing surface probably indicate someone's been in there before, and had to scrape the (old original) gasket off. This is fairly normal for these old bikes. Most of us have had to do this at some time or other.
