Finally got the old gal back on the road. It's been several years.
Got the polished covers on in place of the old bead-blasted ones.
Still need to do a few touch ups and re-route the clutch cable(s). I installed a new spare with the old one just in case.
Also have a correct color tach to swap out with the cracked face one.
Little things, but she ran great today. Hard to believe she's 47 years old

Great to keep these old 'Wings flying on down the road.

Great, and polished covers are really no more bother to maintain that other finishes.
