The bike is sweet. The MUSIC is very annoying and unnecessary. Thank you for sharing this rare bike.

Just saw your comment. Thank you for your thoughts. I was just to big to enjoy this little child hood fantasy. I had always wanted one and could not afford it at the time. I bought this one in pieces and got it going again with the Vanguard conversion. I called it the "widow maker" the speed and acceleration was quite remarkable. I replaced it with a Triumph Bonneville, 1876 T-140. Just as scary for an old timer like me.

Kill the music, we're gearheads. Let the motor do the talking next time. Nice bike and a clean conversion.

I agree with all the others abut the musc, get it off of the video, I really view these videos to hear the sounds of the old bikes but I would have loved to hear the sounnds of the Vanguard to as you drove along. I would have loved to have that when I was a kid, or even now at 70, I love the Mustangs.

Neat bike. I'll bet it really scoots with the B&S v-twin.

Please get rid of the music. I thought my computer was playing something from another site, and I spent several minutes trying to shut it off. The "music" really detracts from the video. Very bothersome.

A very sweet machine! I have a 61 Cushman Eagle with the 27 hp. Vanguard and comet trans and it is amazing! a very nice job on your Mustang!

I like the video and nice bike, but please shut the music off. It's annoying.

Dump the music so we can understand you.

nice bike but the bags are terrible

Video would be improved it the mount were more stable, and the background music is way too loud. It interferes with the narrative.
