Pre-Resoration, took this September 07,2008, this is how she looks after being in storage since 1983, haven't even washed her yet! there are no signs of wear, the seat looks as new, the exhaust needs to be replaced it's rusting through. The Vetter Windjammer ss purchased new in 1978 is flawless. After changing the oil, and flushing the tank and carbs added a new battery and she fired right up! Now it's polish, and cleaning, and she'll be road ready for the sping. My 2 year old daughter loves the bike as long as it's not running.
