So, here is the quandary. I want to keep it original but there are some rust spots on the frame. From a snobby collector's or purist's, or even a mercenary point of view, what do I do? Can I just touch up the spots with black paint? Do I just put some clear on top of the rust? Also there is a small spot of peeling chrome at the back of the centre muffler.
What constitutes the " original" name?
Opinions invited. I will say that I think I am going to keep it and rise to the top of the heap like a Zambia and Ned H2 level. You know, the big time...

I would touch up the paint on the frame, paint the narcels with that wrinkle stuff...and ride the wheels off it |

If I do keep this one, that means that the Peacock would be on the sale block

That's it Walms, I do. I do admit that I can afford insurance for only one bike though.

I hate myself for not finding this bike 1st  hahaha What a score and to answer your question....I agree with Ian. Leave as is: clean it up 7" headlight, repaint narcels (word of the day!), add the gauge rubbers over the chrome ring and ride..and maybe some grips. What's the Peacock bike? |

Going through some old pics and I realized your H2 looks just like my dad's old bike back in the day. The pics are from 1978
Very cool!
