Nice recap Brian!

Congratulations Mike, you definitely have a factory ‘74 I-500 race sled. Most likely your dad’s. Is there anything else on the tunnel? Would like to see more pics. Are you planning to restore it?

Appreciate the input Dustin. The one I have has typical wear and weather checking, just hoping to find a better one. I'll just use what I have if nothing else is available.

Hi Jim, really cool idea and with the stable of old JD sleds I now have this looks like it would be a good compliment to bridging the modern safety design and vintage look. I am a little late to your post but actually would really like the silver antler helmet and I am inclined to buy it but I need...

Kenny,
