They look great, must have been very satisfying to turn them from a heap of bits into usable bikes.

Great fun if you're not in a hurry and just want to experience a bit of
bygone era biking.

If all you've known, is OHCs, fuel injection, disc brakes, gas shocks and ABS and riders AIDS etc it will be a culture shock.
Not to mention the gear change being on the 'wrong side'

Many hours of bloodsweat and tears I'll bet.
I am in awe of your work and dedication, and it does take a lot of dedication to complete projects like that. Thumbs Up
