In your other post it sounds like you are wondering if it's worth restoring. If you have the desire, time and money, bring it back to the trail! In this day and age of the internet, finding parts is really pretty easy. The more eyes that you have looking, the better the chance of finding what you need. Pictures of what you got would be helpful. If you have the engine, frame , air box, tank, forks and decent wheels, everything else can be made or bought. Depends also on how original you want to restore it to. If you want to ride it, you can fudge in some areas and go modern and plastic. If you want to make a museum piece, that is possible also. The best there is at doing that are here on this list. Either way, one more on the trail is better than one more busted up and scattered, in my opinion.
  Good luck and have fun,
