First things first.
The rocker cover is mounted incorrectly. As a quick visual check, the lines on the cover should run parallel to the headers. Yes, it's a common thing and we do like to point these little things out!
So, it only seems right that the bike be given a name in honour of a pillion.

That looks like it'll clean up nicely. Congrats.
I notice the front brace. Nice thing if setup correctly. Bad thing if not.
The front guard looks back to front.
Presumably they pulled a trailer.
Are the rear shocks oem?
Check out the recent thread on batteries.
If you find a right sidecover, there are ways to prevent it falling off, which isn't uncommon.
Hopefully the front master cylinder hasn't leaked all over the frame.
Hey, thanks for all the great comments
I see what you mean by the rocker cover.
Beatrice would be a good name!
Herb Salidan was the owner and probably purchaser of the seat.
Herb did pull a trailer
Very likely orig shocks
I didn't notice any brake fluid leak
The water buffalo / bottle (lol) I'm pretty familiar with, having rebuilt her 3 times before getting to the root of a tricky problem.
I hope to have the bike here in a couple of months. Till then I'll be reading up on the bike
Thanks
Ron
