Any Ironhead unless you don't like anything on it
I do like later 1985 oil bags and early Kidney bags they are the one to rebuild for me

Looking at a '72
I just found out about a 1972, and from the pics it looks like a decent bike. It's all together, and ran 5 years ago before landing in a friend's basement (for another of his friends). There's a few extra parts, & maybe a manual. I hope to see it up close next weekend, if not sooner. So how's that right side shift?

I had a 74 and it was a great bike but if I could have any year it would be a 69 .
If I could find one in non running cheap condition I would buy one myself and restore it
