So more to come as I get the time.

Picked up some necessities on ebay...
Ebay (almost like new) 4" Supertrapp megaphone complete w 18 SS tuning discs.
And a SS Wool/fiberglass blanket kit from International Steel Wool.
Sand blasted and fireproof coating
single layer Masking tape wrap help keeps the packing in place for easy install.
The kickstand had rotted off the original No-Title frame.
Picked up a really nice frame with a Title.
Found a good deal on a spare engine with 11k kilometers on it.
At least the numbers are better.
Both rims were bent.
Super nice NOS front complete w disc.
and nice new rear. I Installed new bearings, sprocket and tires.
The weathered spokes on the rear wheel polished up as nice as the front spokes.
Ceramabrite glass cooktop cleaner is the stuff to brighten old finishes including chrome.
New shocks to complement.
I was a little disappointed to see the new Hagons come w these ill-fitting, cheap looking collets.
I sent an email to Hagon. A few days later...They sent me the a set of the old style collets w new bushings.
Out w old fork seals in w new seals and pipes.
Tapered bearings kit installed.
3 days soaking tank w apple cider vinegar, water rinse, alcohol rinse then Marvel Mystery to prevent flash rust.
Worked a treat on the rust.
