The blue AS3 is off the bench! I would almost go as far as to say it’s completed but there’s a few things still missing: some original fuel lines that are coming next week, a new rear fender that’s on it”a way too and the wiring in the headlight. A tip when restoring AS3s (AS1s and AS2Js too) is to place a battery rubber on the sidestand to keep it from damaging the exhaust pipe. Another fun thing about this bike is the clip that holds the throttle wire. It, along with the rubber on the rear swing, are missing from almost all restorations. They’re not necessary for driving the bike but they’re essential to get the bikes to their original condition.
