Welcome to the forum!

By '73, the Bonnies were fairly well sorted.

I think the weak transmission shifter detent leaf spring was revised by then (anyone else confirm that?).

There's a thread here on "reviving" old bikes that have been sitting for a while, check the tech section "sticky" thread at the top of the page for the link to it.
