Some thanks.

Just wanted to give a shout out to some of the products that I used along the way on the bike. POR-15 tank coating is excellent. Columbus Powder Coating does great work for a reasonable price. Bikebandit.com is a great source for vintage bike parts. Thanks to the guys at Advantage Cycle in Columbus for the work and tips.

Still have more touch up to do but have taken a break to enjoy some riding. see ya.

Been riding some.

Well I have been riding when its not raining and enjoying the bike. Had to get new front rotors and that fixed the brakes. I am going to try and get the carbs sync'd sometime soon but it is pretty close to right. see ya.

Finished for now


Got the bike all back together today and went for a ride. Put about 50 miles on it with no major problems. The front brakes are pulsating some so I may need some new front disks. I will wait for the pads to seat and see if it is still happening. Here is a picture all most done, missing the blinkers. I guess I forgot to take a pic after I got all back together.

Started putting the bike back together this weekend. Have to fix some cracked/broken bodywork along the way so it is going kind of slow. Here are some pics.

Finished front fork seals


Finished front for seals. The manual make it seem easy to do but it was mistaken. It took all day but with some help from Carlos we were able to get it done. So I think I am done with all the stuff I am going to do, so I started putting the bike back together. I am cleaning and painting as I go. Here is a picture of the progress so far.
