Here's the new to me 79 XLS



It's been stored for a couple of years but was put away properly .

It runs good , everything works , I haven't gone for a ride yet to see if it shifts properly .

I need to buy the correct battery for it and do some maintenance .

The plan is , make it road worthy , this will be inexpensive , ride it a bit until the winter ....... then make it look like a flat tracker.

The Pink chopper is going to the swap meet today , the 71 frame I shouldn't have bought is going too .

That looks to be a seriously good starting point.

(Certainly more acceptable than the Christmas Tree I started with.)
