Took a short (400 miles) jaunt to get away from the world for a bit after not getting out as much as I wanted last year. Replacing a cracked oil pan last year turned into then welding a new muffler flange into the mid-pipe (collector) because the right side snapped off, which is apparently a common enough issue on these.

That’s a sweet rig
The fairing and luggage are both period correct, too. I managed to snag the aftermarket fairing with the bike specific mount off of CL for $100 (and a several hour drive) still wrapped up new from someone who bought it in '83 and never got around to fabricating a mount for the bike he wanted to mount it to. It’s always a strange feeling to open up new packaging that’s decades old.
