Looks like it's mostly there, so you have a headstart over a lot of restoration projects. Post some pix as you progress.

Hey that aint bad,.....I've seen people work on bikes with alot more parts missing. With the internet now,...you can really scour the planet for what you need.
Good luck,....can't wait to see progress.

Heck, it's almost new! Change the oil, dust off the plugs, throw a good Diamond chain on it and go for a spin!

ZD, I wish!

It's completely dismantled now. Off to a buddy on my uncles for a complete strip down and rebuild of the motor, tranny, and forks. Tank andfenders need some major work. Frame neds a little bit of work. Four hubs that need rebuilding (front, rear, sidecar and spare) and lacing. Then.........well you see where I'm going.


More pics to follow!
