in this state, no title, just a parts bike. They both run, now to make it my own so to speak.

Looks like it worked out very good Vince, good luck with the test ride. Always thought those old singles would make a great cafe style/retro racer ride. Is there enough good parts left to do that? With your tin banging talents I'm sure you could come up with something in short order.
My thought on those older singles would be to make it into a 40's or 50's style bike with a rigid tail and a springer front end. Add a "Pogo Stick" saddle on it and maybe some leather saddlebags.

Before I built my own trailer, I first saw London-based couriers dragging trailers behind Kwak GT550s for one of the larger courier companies. Their bikes didn't seem too fazed by it at all.
What I found silly was the width of the trailers they were pulling, as they weren't custom made bike trailers but merely the smallest narrowest car trailers available, and were a good foot or more wider than ideal.
My own trailer is hardly wider than the handlebars, so that I can filter if I choose to, but rarely do, just in case.
Even at that, the amount of stuff I can pull is surprising.
My trailer is easily a bit more narrow than the width of my hard saddlebags, probably the smallest trailer you'll find short of going to a single wheel unit. The interior is 30"40" and a little over 18" tall. Luckily the top is quite stout and has rack to lash things down to.
