I took her for a test ride today, but I didn't go over 35 (only for a second), and I was on a back road, because she's not legal at all... unfortunately, my old helmets don't fit anymore, so I gave them to my friend's kids... I have to get a new one before next season, I guess. Maybe I'll paint match it to the bike... LOL.

PS - Good luck finding factory match paint for your pre-1982 Honda bike... Honda didn't use discernible paint codes before that year. I may have to settle for non-OEM paint matched as close as a computer can get it, b/c there are dings and such on the bike that I may want to fix.

I can't find the TwinStar logos, either. I'll likely have them painted on, or just go without them, unfortunately.

As much as I want to keep this bike OEM as much as possible, I don't think it's going to happen very likely.. mufflers are the first thing, if I can get the old pair of Sportster mufflers that I gave to a friend who has never used them, I'll end up with them on the TwinStar, because I can't find OEM exact replacements, and I want to keep it quiet.
