No welds whatsoever anywhere but all surfaces have been smoothed or detailed at one point or another, ie. (non stock patina, casting flash removed, relay mount gone). There are 2 small fins on cylinders that were cosmetically repaired a long time ago. By that I mean not welded, brazed or otherwise. JB Weld and metal. Completely rebuilt top and bottom less than 900 miles ago by local Harley Factory wrench. All new crank shafts, bushings, and bearings, and was line bored and honed. Newer aftermarket oil pump. Set up for later type manifold. Starts easy and runs very well using the Joe Hunt magneto included. Always stored indoors
