    Hey guys,

    Thanks guys for the coments.....I am doing it to give everyone ideas on their air-cooled machines. I hope this inspires more people to restore them to whatever flavour they want.

    Props are to everyone on this board...I have not asked many questions, but i have found most of the info i needed to know and when i didn't, just ask.

    Mart - I am sure these guys will ship it. I used an 85 front fender and 83 rear fender. I bought them from James Lucky. www.jlatvproducts.com

    John, Let me know whatever you need. I have been accumulating many progress pics. Before tear down and after. I will keep posting. I find pictures are worth 1000 words. (MINE LOOKS LIKE YOURS hehehe) I am doing the opposite of your rims. Silver hubs, Black rims.

    bars

    Looks like you are putting togather a sano package.
    Good work.

    Which handlebars are you using?
    Do they fit properly in the wide clamps?
