[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 190646, member: 4617"] After 37 years I would think it would be hard to find an OEM bike, and even if you do there will be a premium to buying such a bike - much like a car. The more original it is, the more it will cost to purchase, and yes, depends on the vehicle. A bike that has all the maintenance done and is ready for the road is a rarity for a 37 year old bike. My bike was on the road and I have found that to keep it there requires exactly what you have done to the '81. I could have let it go until an issue needed to be addressed, but when that happens there could be collateral damage. I also wanted an older bike that would be dependable - as much as possible. You have done a great job on getting this bike ready for the road, and the cost for what has been done is very reasonable. I kept track of the costs for my '85 LTD and it does add up. I mentioned on a thread by brianpa that you and he should collaborate on a project as both of you do a great job in bringing these older GWs back to life. An enjoyable and informative thread this one, and a great job done. Cheers [/QUOTE]
