NIce bike, a sprung solo saddle would improve the look and ride of the bike, old ironheads are great bikes, but can shake your fillings out. I'm sure you will enjoy it to the full.
Hopefully will enjoy, first shakedown run today - no sprung saddle - they're only allowed on hardtails

I intend to take nearly everything off the bike and get this more streamlined and considerably lighter look and get it being ridden again. I'll have to wait a while before I can collect as the owner is now away..............which gives me an opportunity to track down the original fitment parts to bring it back to standard........less of the 'live to ride, ride to live' all over it whilst it ironically languished unused in private collections. So this is the look I will be aiming for:
Nice looking bike without all the bling - good plan to remove it all. I have a box of 'live to ride' stuff in the shed - stuff I've taken off both of mine. Should stick it on ebay, there's obviously a market for it!
