http://vintageconnections.com/ They can supply what you need. I've purchased them for my Honda and Yamahas, reasonably priced for getting oem spec's equpiment

Dump that, go to your local motorcycle store and buy yourself some fork oil. It comes in different weights which in the short of it, relays to the stiffness of the forks. Transmission oil was considered an alternative because that's what was available back then. I have a cb650 that I run 20...

wicked find. these little bikes are amazing Great little number, shares a lot of parts with the tt250 and xt250 of the same years. I changed the head gasket and valves in a few hours in our driveway. Lots of pep. my wife loves it.

youtube will be your friend, be prepared to spend a lot on you first build; time, money, patience, blood. Everyone starts some where and in this technological age, if you are so inclined there is no reason not to find out the information. Some is hard to come by than others.

That's great news, makes you believe in the good of humans again when one steps forward like that.

yep, on my list vehicle bucket list for sure. beautiful car.

Same as Tim, never did hold.

I'm up in Guelph. Looking forward to seeing this build

where about in Ontario are you? Those little hawks are pretty cool. Personally I'd ditch the square bump stop, doesn't flow with the tank. One word of advice, if you don't have it safetied yet. Put it back together as much as stock, getting it running and have it saftied. Once it's in your...
