The top 3 are:
- Get my carb. working/running perfect; with new acc. pump assem., new jets and needle, and new pms thumb screw.
- Make a new seat pan out of fiberglass (myself) w/ black leather and sewn edges (cut my old seat pan too short in back after de-horn).
- If $ permits a new rear brake res./master cylinder and ss brake line.
