I havent tried to start it. There is a crack in the frame which has been welded up before which should be easily fixed. I work with fitters and sheet metal workers and they believe they can repair it for me easily enough. I do have a catcher but it has seen better days, I am going to look at making a new one out of the same material they use on the Honda's. I will keep you updated if I go to do this. I may be pulling this one down this friday seeing I am waiting for some parts for my current restoration. Deejay I will post some photos of the chains and sprockets hopefully next weekend. The original SB 45 at the top of this page that my father got for nothing for me looks like it may have a new home at his place frown
