I recently finished this '75. I appreciate this forum. I also have a couple Valkryies, as I notice quite a few members here have them as well.

Welcome from South Dakota! That is a sharp looking ‘75 you have there. Looks like you stayed very true with the restoration.

Thank you. Yes, I decided to keep this one original (on the outside at least) with the exception of exhaust (one thousand pounds lighter than stock... yes really!!! :shock: ) and blinkers (big enough to serve soup from).

Welcome to the 'Wingdom.

1000 pounds is a serious weight reduction .... careful on the bumps .... you might not come down again
