Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Very nice, that looks amazing, quite the transformation and I know the right guy ended up with that bike. 
Check the fairing brackets, are they tweaked? or on wrong, not sure if that is even possible?
I do have a spare set that could be cobbled together if needed.

Hey Rich, where is that nifty gold stator cover emblem you got?
Couldn't help but notice the lack of white lettering on the gauge idiot lights. Chuck sourced some lettering labels that look pretty good. Wouldn't be original though.

Hey Ed, the stator emblem will be on soon. It is odd that the white lettering is worn off, considering the condition. I was wondering if they were wiped off intentionally.
Nice! Just checked ebay and there have been a couple recently. One even had the clock knob. I would have bought it for that alone (then resold it after stealing the knob).
Exactly my plan.......we can talk about the knob, as I know you have been on the hunt for quite some time.
I'll trade my first born for the knob. Where is that barter thread again...
Nice try, Ed.............. I can't afford another first born.:biggrin:
I have enjoyed resurrecting what could be the lowest mileage Cooley in existence. There are a couple of things left to do, but not much. I think I am basically calling it done!
Maintenance and cleaning was all it really needed. The bike remains remarkably original. Always willing to listen to interesting trades.
Here are some beauty shots from today.

Very nice Rich, that looks awesome.
I assume you know the top nut on the left shock is missing, just in case you are thinking of going for a ride you may want to put that on.

Good eye, Dave! The threads were a bit buggered up and when I wrenched it back on I snapped it off. I plan to have it repaired at a local weld shop, as I don't have the tools to do it properly.
Too bad, I was planning to bring it to Laconia for a day or two. Unfortunately, I will not have the time to repair it.
The bike was picked up today and is headed home to Japan. It would be cool to touch base with the new owner, but that is unlikely. The buyer was represented by an export company out of CA.
I have no idea what the buyer has in store for it. My guess would be resale, as I think the vintage bike market is quite a bit stronger in Japan.
I just hope the new owner doesn't get ahold of Frank's blueprints for the BozoCooley!
