Thanks for sharing the pictures and the story, Phman. My great-grandfather only left me a beer bottle opener, so you've done much better!
The bike appears to be in good shape. Are you planning to leave much of the current "patina" and just replace a few items, or take on a larger restoration project?
Nice to see a Benly that was ridden as intended.
You can probably clean up some of the rust on the handlebars, although some of that chrome is gone. There are replacement mufflers available in other styles, but original style mufflers are rather costly.
Keep us updated as you move forward, and congrats on picking up the family heirloom.
