Default Here is my new 61XLCH

Hello Everyone

I have my new bike cleaned up (a very little bit) and a few small repairs made. The LH side of the tank had bubbling paint. I figured it was a pinhole leak but it was actually 10 drilled holes that were drilled to pull out a dent and just puttied over. I removed enough bodywork to get to the holes and had them TIG welded shut. The bike has not been on the road since 1982.
