My early 80s Shogun resto mod
(thelemmy.club)
After seeing biltzen’s post, i figured I’d share mine.
Not much ‘mod’ here. Tried to keep things near the same period. I’m the sole owner of this bike. It sat in my garage for 20+ years until one day the bug bit me and I just started working on it.
The biggest change was to have it powder coated. I never liked the original paint much. Had the logos recreated as water slide decals. Kept the original headset badge.
I drilled and rivnutted the bottle cage mounts. That was a bit scary.
At one point i had put indexed shifters(brifters) on it, but went back to friction. It just fits better.
I like your decision to keep the down tube shifters. Those can be indexed too but being able to trim is nice. The powder coating looks good with that lugged frame.
