I have seen countless vintage restored with total attention to detail & looking like they had been left in a crate since the day they were made.
I find the owners have expended so much time and money in making it perfectly 'original' they wont use it. Usually because the brakes & lights are factory original too.
A showroom finish just doesn't look 'right'. The weathered paintwork it part of a bike's history. Protect it to halt deterioration by all means. I would accept re-stoving the frame?
....that machine ticked over so nice..1928 and all....got to stop looking [ I won't ] at these bike clips on you tube,makes me want to go out and have one... last.... ride....
Well that's a sure sign that you "get it"!!! Some bikes need a restoration and some don't and it's obvious that you know what' what! You've got some very nice machines.
wow thats a beautiful bike! I like the part when u say "it ONLY took me 10 YEARS to finish" hahaha but its so worth it. I bet you know that bike inside and out
@Jayyar4 great to see the only fresh looking things were the obvious possible safety issues such as the linkages,lines, (Chain?) and the manifold which I would assume saw better days before replacing it. Fantastic looking and sounding bike dude! Well done!
@NJPurling Pardon me, but what would be so bad about a cosmetic restoration? Even a partial one, as a paintjob, nothing flashy but something in any case.
@Jayyar4 that is totally modern, its got everything,speedo a rev counter,and more class then a harley.wouldent mind driving one on a dayli basis.it even sounds beefyer then a sport bike ha ha, nice restoration from your part, i love it
nice

What a beautiful bike. A full restoration takes away that great patina that tells a story of this bikes life. Don't ever restore it !
Cheers.

Thank goodness you resisted the temptation to do a full cosmetic restoration.
It belongs on the road, not in a museum hall.

@NJPurling Thanks, I agree 100%. Museums are for the dead, except for "Wheels Through Time, The Museum That Runs"!

@telepopepic That was probably a Militaire, also a four cylinder. Very similar engine to an early Henderson, but not nearly as good!!
