I'm surprised your father didn't toss the giant air cleaner, especially since it looks like he went with aftermarket exhaust.

A friend of my Dad's emailed my Aunt some pics she had of my Dad and his bike. Along with some other ones which was a nice surprise as we lost most of them in a house fire.

Congrats on getting those pics, and thank you for sharing! I will admit I am envious, I am still blessed to have my dad around, but no pictures of him when he used to race in the 50s and 60s. He still has a couple of his enduros stashed in our barn. I really want to get my hands on them and get them running, but due to health reasons he can't really ride anymore. Again, I am happy for you that you obtained those.
