76 Convert Restoration
Dave Swanson:
I have an exposed lower level in the back of my house which is where my basement shop resides. I drive them in and out, but not when the yard is soggy from rain. With the deluge yesterday and a heavy rain forecast today, getting out for the road testing may take a few days.

Beautiful Dave! :thumb: :bow: :bike-037:
BMCMOTO:
Larry would love it!
Larry and I talked about building a triple disc brake Eldovert many times over the years. We also talked about building a blue and white Italian police Convert. I have an early Convert that is a long term project headed in the blue and white direction. Definitely won't be as nice as Dave's work but I hope it's close.

Dave Swanson:
When I stare at this bike and remember what it took to get from the before to the after it is mind boggling.
Dave Swanson:
There was 15 miles of pure bliss! 2 of my friends rode it and marveled at it. I followed them on a 3 mile loop and the Convert was looking amazing - very stately. When back at the house I put the Convert on the center stand, started it up, and all of a sudden it started leaking ATF from places it should never leak from. Most notably from the rear clutch pushrod area. There was not a drop on the floor before starting it. At least it waited until it was back home. The ATF started pouring out so fast it would have been trailer time.
I finally (ahem) got to experience the wonderful Tonti feature of crabbing the frame!
I will report back when I find the culprit.
