1976 Harley-Davidson SS-175 2-Stroke - Aermacchi

The plate went on the 1976 Harley-Davidson SS-175 today. The engine was cold when I started it. The list was short to get this ride going. The carburetor was clogged with something as the top end was weak. There was a spacer missing in the rear wheel and the left handlebar switch unit was damaged. While putting new rubber on I replaced all the wheel bearings and painted the rear hub and sprocket. I gave the tank a good bath as it had a little surface rust putting crud in the bowl. Nothing left to do but ride. Thanks to the seller Robert, key SS/SX part from Gary Daniels, Leslie at Moto Italia, Gary in Vermont (rides SX in AMA events) and Lancaster Aermarcchi for the help and information. Yup, it's one of them ITALIAN Harley's...
