Just finished up my '74 GT380. 5 years off and on.
Put 110 miles on it so far. Runs good. Pulls strong through the rpm range.

HVC Cycle rebuilt crank. Frame off nut and bolt mechanical resto.

Planning on getting the side covers and fuel tank painted this winter.

The left side of the bike is super faded.
So much so that the tank and side cover (missing in the pics) appear silver on the left side, but Aztec Gold on the right hand side.

Dealing with a regulator/rectifier issue. I had purchased a Procom ESR770. It allowed the regulated voltage to to over 18 V as measured at the battery terminals. Replaced the ESR770 with the oem regulator and rectifier. Measured voltage across the battery from 13.8 to 14.5. I've got a unit from Oregon Motorcycle Parts on the way.

Here's one I prepared before...

By the way, this is the actual factory tank colour, -a lot of the resprays I've seen are too red, note it has an element of burnt orange in it.
