They came home today.

The yellow one is a 1977 4600. It was originally sold by a bike shop in Aurora, IL.

It's in pretty good shape, save for some lighting issues. Starts right up and runs really well

The black one isn't a 1964 2200/3300 as advertised but not a deal breaker.

Until I locate the serial number, it'll be a 1966 to 1983 3800. It looks like parts are missing but I have them all. This one has a perforated fuel pump diaphragm and lighting issues. A new diaphragm will be here next week. It does have a very strong spark. Guess how I know.

Side by side in the driveway.

The 4600 is wearing the air cleaner cover, blower cover, and fuel tank of the 3800. The originals are white. It is also supposed to have an engine guard mounted. I have that, too.

Washed and in the garage.

I bet I put five miles on the 4600 tonight. It was a hoot.
