Welcome to the forum from TX. That is a nice bike. Photos of your '64 Goat would be appreciated.

Well I do need some touring kit - screen, pillion and bags. That'll get me started. No engine or exhaust mods yet.

The one mod that may happen soon is to the toe-heel shifter. The bike came with floorboards, and I thought about swapping for mid controls. Then as I was riding, I found I could hang my feet off the back pretty close to a mid peg position. But the heel shifter gets in the way on the left. I may just do a little surgery.

I replaced the crappy linkage system with a shifter off of a 04 Speed Triple I purchased off of fleecebay. I then cut off the toe shifter and replaced it with a Longhorn shifter from Kuryakyn by drilling out a larger hole and placing a longer bolt through the shifter and have found that finding all gears, including neutral, (even though I only use neutral to start the bike), is much easier and shifting is a breeze!

Welcome, GTO, nice find, the 67 is my favorite car, I used to have a ragtop, many years ago.

Don't cut off your heels! I knew a girl that did, she was always on her back...

Now that is nice! We must have been a brother from another Mother.
Is that drum brakes on the front?
