Buchanan SS Spokes an good chrome Dunlop rims, eighton foam and seat cover from UK, xcellent museum quality paint by Bill Kee who painted many of Otis Chandlers museum collection.Tank was "gel coated" inside to prevent corrosion or leaks.The frame and engine are Matching Numbers.The engine had a "Top End" 10 years ago under the direction of Lee Standley and I did all the "Tricks" he showed me and even now the compression is Rock Hard..Everything works except the brake light-(I believe the switch is bad)the bike rides smoothly with Very Low vibrations at cruising speeds,I chose not to run a battery because of acid corrosion and fragile life. In its stead a capacitor was used which works just fine,the headlight is a little dim on idling but otherwise OK..I have owned and ridden this bike for over 15 years,it has collected "ribbons" at bike shows as a "Rider".

Note to Bidders: the chrome on right headpipe is slightly "oxidized" (not rust) but the chrome has lost its luster and won't polish out. about 6 in. from exhaust flange-not that unsightly but it is a slight issue you should know
