Phil,
It'll be interesting to watch the progress you make on your R20 conversion. Once you're finished, maybe one day you can bring it with you to Orlando, and we can go riding through Baldwin Park, and the Cady Way Trail.
Cheers,
Ed

Imagine black Skyways and shorter handlebars, and that's pretty much it.
It reminds me of my last restoration/build, a 1982 Jeep Scrambler, but on a smaller, much more manageable scale.

I sold it in 2006 because it got bad gas mileage and emissions and it wasn't practical to keep. It was fun while it lasted though!
EM42, it'll sort of be like the single speed you have. Thanks for the link, I'll have to go through all your photos, but right now I have to start tinkering!
