Sorry Walter. When I first bought the bike, the hinges were rusted shut and the plastic hood was cracked. bummer! The plastic was ruff everywhere there was plastic. The carburators didn´t work in sink any more so the people let it sit since 1990 with 14000 miles on it. I ripped eveything off of the bike and I am attempting to lower the center of gravity concidering I have lots of time and I have to rebuild everything-the engine/tranny.the only spotless part.....so sad the way people treat classics like these.
