Whos got the vintage bug?

Not vintage but antique. I picked an 1970 SL396 that was a barn find and mint. The decals were rippled and that was all that was wrong. I had replica decals made but learned a valuable lesson. I just went from an original class to restored class in doing so. The competion is feirce out there.$$$ Oh well I bought to ride in the vintage runs anyway to hve fun.

I got bit by a vintage bug this summer. Here is a 1979 Kawasaki JS440. And me doing a perfectly executed face plant off my 1987 Kawi 650sx lol

My cousin bought the '79 js440 along with a 1974 JS400 at a garage sale for $125. I sold the 1974 for $800 instantly! Kinda a collector I guess. So he gave me the '79...and it runs perfect!

Not sleds I know...but its fun!

Had some time too tinker a bit on the 87 Excell 3 removed the carb and quickly cleaned it Installed 2 new spark plugs and add gas away it goes runs pretty good may need to replace the choke cable but I just want to evaluate the condition of the sled before I spend too much money
