I was beginning to wonder if this day would ever get here. It's finally all put back together and I'm very pleased with how it turned out. After ironing out a couple final issues, she fired up and is purring beautifully. The carburetor still needs some tweaking on the high end, but I'll get that worked out eventually. Here are some pictures of the final product: (Click on pics below to enlarge)

The top picture is fantastic. It looks like it could be on the cover of a catalog. Some of the yellows look like mustard and some look like racing yellow (I think that I just made that up). I love the larger picture, color and content. Looks great.

John, If you don't mind my asking where did you acquire the tail light bracket? I am mid-way through an sl70 restoration and that is the only part I am unable to locate.

Beautiful Bike! I have a yellow 1971 KO that I bought new. It is complete but I want to restore it. I am curious. Every restoration I see, the wheel hubs are buffed to a mirror shine. I don't recall them being that way new. Did I forget or were they more mat? After you buffed them to a mirror shine, are the sprayed with a clear coat to preserve the finish?

That is beautiful. Very nice job. I recently found an SL70 buried in a barn since 75, and I'm knee deep in the restoration. Where did you find new bars? New battery box?
