Thanks, Al. I still have some work to do before I get it on the road for the first time. The petcock would not stop leaking, so I inspected it closer and noticed that the entire aluminum petcock body was warped. I decided to set aside the vintage, and notoriously problematic, petcock and ordered an inexpensive adapter and new petcock. This bike isn’t going in a museum, so it won’t matter, and honestly won’t even be noticed. A modern chrome Harley-style petcock looks nice and will provide years of leak-free service.

You did it again. Took another bike that hasn’t run in almost 30 years and made it look like new and at the first turn of the key you got a running restored bike. What an accomplishment. Me I just had a hard time spelling that word right yet alone restore a 30 year old bike. I’m still partial to those white wall tires. They make the bike really look classy. I can see it now when we go riding and then stop somewhere how you will once again get all the attention and comments. Like you said before I’ll have to start my bike on fire for anyone to notice my nice, clean and shiny Honda. Just so my feelings don’t get hurt I just might park down the street from you. Just kidding Kevin. Can’t wait to see you in front of me riding this bike down the roads. Great job Kevin.
