Restoring this for a customer.. unearthed from a chicken coop in Arizona.

Watch out, it might get you into a Long Bike Build frame of mind!

How well did those filter in tank work ?

If I don't run the ones like in the picture, I run the round ones with the filter in them. They work fine. I just like the simplified oil lines. It makes things alot cleaner without having extra lines running to an external oil filter.

Looks really good for being in a chicken coop! Good thing it was in some dry arizona climate and he brought it to someone who will do it justice...

Whoever the customer is... he definitely did his homework and brought the bike to the right guy.

Beautiful Clean lines.

Cool bike!

Must be the pictures, but that bike looks like it has been well stored or something. Great stance from the front quarter too...

thats awesome! ive been sending my kids out to our chicken coupe for the past 11 yrs. and so far no killer old chops have turned up in there,i guess my birds dont build bikes?

It was covered in potato sacks or something.. and the chicken shit sort of made a shell around the bags apparently.. Lots of corrosion, but overall 100% intact!

 

[Dr. Benway]

Is that the original seat? Almost looks new.

 

[Trent]

Yep, its as it was stored in the late 70s when the owner was shot to death...Dont think he got a chance to ride it much, if at all.

I love that springer. If you take it off, I'm a buyer.
