I have a real good feeling that pre70 classes and pre65 classes they will take off in numbers a lot better, if collector will let go of the reins, You don`t get the die hard Trophy hunters, you get enthusiast that love this era.

Yeah actually the more I worked on assembling it the more I notice the nice bits, like neat place for the battery, rear guard lower in alloy and the fit of everything is really pretty good, it all lines up nicely. Just need to get the sidecovers on, fill the battery and it should light up  ;D

Nice bike.  Is it Pre 70 or Pre65?

Probably pre 65 as long as the hubs and forks are pre 65 legal but I'm sure I'll be challenged on it. Pre 70 for sure though.

Thats a nice looking bike NSR.....would look better if he didnt try to make it look like a 73 CR Elsinore....polish the tank, get rid of the sidecovers, put the front guard down on the wheel, easy to do and then it would look more "era"....does he ride it?....still pretty cool.

Pretty bike, but I reckon if you add up all the pre 75 parts on it, you'd have to say its closer to that class. Certainly wouldn't be a light weight with a 305 motor though...I tried lifting one I had once.

He has certainly done a very nice restoration on the bike.
