Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.

About the bar wrapping, it doesn't bother me as it is. Yes, I could cover the silver triangle under the levers (I did that on the Masi) but I chose not to for several reasons. In fact, I kinda' like the additional visible silver. In the old days we just wrapped and that was the end of it. Also I don't like the idea of tightening the lever body down onto cloth instead of onto metal. So I just wrapped. Hey, I'm being a style-setter here, just follow along. Try it yourself. In a few years everybody will be doing this way. Trust me.

The saddle is inexpensive, but more more importantly it is comfortable for me. All my bikes but one have this saddle. Since this bike is meant to be a rider I'm going with what works for me. (The other new-to-me Moto will be a restoration.)

About that white patch on the ST. The lower sticker is an American flag. The upper one is a bike license from a local town. It intrigues me if for no other reason than that it is a link to the bike's past. Maybe it will lead me to a former owner who can possibly tell me more about it. Maybe I'll even learn that it was stolen, which would get it back to the owner.

A long time ago in a state far, far away I registered my new UO8 with the county because it was encouraged at that time. They gave me a little brass tag to mount on the bike. Don't know that it was required. Never knew anyone else who registered a bike. I haven't even thought about it for years. Now here's proof that someone else did.

Every old bike has a story.
