Took a delightedly spirited ride home on the ES2 tonight! After disassembling the mag/dyno to replace the drive gears and clean the armature and brushes, I replaced the hand grips with some beautiful Barnett pieces and painted the white YUASA battery black so it would appear somewhat proper, then fabricated a battery hold down strap as to what I thought it may have resembled when it left the factory 60 years ago.
Next stop is the VBMC Rallye coming up the first Sunday in October. Take a little ride and see this beautiful machine in person!!
