Nice bikes you have there Brad. The grandkids are 10 year old boy and 7 year old girl. Both will be assisting on the Corsa. They enjoy working in the shop, they have not figured out that it is work yet. They really like to learn how to fix and repair stuff.

My other bikes are:
2009 Harley Davidson Crossbones. It has Tons of mods including a factory numbered paint set. Its my cruser.
2007 Royal Enfield Electra X. I mostly use it for my pit bike when i go racing. In the winter i use it to cruse the dirt roads of Oklahoma.
2008 Suzuki B-king. Drag bike/street fighter. I weigh 245 lbs suited and i run 9.6 sec at 138 mph quarter mile. I tune it with my laptop. It has a AFR sensor and log box.
Had
1989 yamaha fj1200. sold. i miss that old girl.
2006 kawasaki Vulcan 2000. sold. very nice cruser.
2001 Bourget Rude American. sold. Awesome custom.
2001 HD Sportster. sold. my first street bike

Sweet find on a rarer Corsa. I had a 68 500 that was Danube Blue and I always wished I had restored the paint color to make it deep and shiny. Start up a build thread! If your on Facebook there is a good group there for picture sharing as well https://www.facebook.com/groups/154921441224980

Thanks cvair4life,
I like the idea of the build thread just not sure where to put it.
And here is a before picture as she sits today. Ran a compression check found two dead cylinders. One cylinder had zero P.S.I. Next step pull the engine and rebuild.
