Ron and Lex,
Thanks for the response.
No offense taken on anything.
Painting the exhaust system, can do. Thanks I did not know it needed to be silver.
The canvas thing is just to keep ethanol gas off the tank while I am messing with it.
Front stays, that is a tricky one. The front fender was rusted in half when I got it, there was not enough strength left in the metal to hold it together, so I made a fender under the fender to keep it together. I like keeping the original parts together, but if I can find an original I would probable replace.
I know the carb and filter are not right, I think I have some of the right stuff, but I have to make the bent choke pipe. The original engine may have those parts, so I am dragging my feet till I know for sure It will never be mine. He did sell me the original folding kick starter.
Does an original mag cover look different? I made that one. The folding foot rest and stand, among other things, are my creation based on pictures. The original front light shell and stitch came with the bike, but the black out contraption and rear tail light are what I made based on pictures on this site and google.
The original engine is owned by a real nice guy how wants to hang on to it till he gets a newer flea he has going. A donor engine. I remind him ever once in a while that I am still want it, but he is cross country, so emails is all I can do.
Let me know if you see anything else.
Thanks
Chris
