If you would have posted this a few days earlier I could have taken some.

I am happy to say the bike is sold to a fellow POGer and she's headed out east. I can't say I'm glad to see her go but I'm glad she's going to a good home

Dodge City, Kansas I am selling it on a First come first serve/OBO basis. So send me an email with your contact information and an offer and I'll put your name down.

Has anyone tried to "bleach" the fenders, and if so what water to bleach mixture did you use?

Also you can soak the top of the piston with CLR (Calcium, Lime, Rust) to help loosen the rust. Probably wouldn't be a great idea to leave it more than a day or two though.

I'll have to give that a try, Thanks for the tip.

I know he may have missworded that I was just being my smart-ass self and pointing it out.

Make sure you spray the penetrating oil in the exhaust port and intake port.
Also take a block of wood and put it on the piston and rap the wood with a hammer to set up a vibration and that helps the oil penetrate.
I you are going to force the piston out, use a dead-blow hammer (I have a Snap-on piston hammer) but a small Harbor freight one will work.  

I'll have to see if I can find one on the cheap. I have been spraying the piston from all angles.

Good meeting, now I know what I,ve been missing, a longg haul, 380 miles one way, 14 hours total drive time. But worth the trip.

What took you so long? 380 miles, avrageing 60 MPH = 6.33 hours

See there should be one, I know if it was near by I would attend.

Southwest, Kansas

They should have one near me HAHA.

I forgot to mention that I'm looking for the front fender. I dont care about age as long as it's in one piece. I'm useing this plastic bleach and sandpaper applicator my friend gave me.

I'm useing a rust buster or something like that. I used it to get the lugs off a truck that sat in a pasture for 15-20 years. Only took a few applications. Like I said I'm in no hurry with winter comming on. I'm trying to keep the money in my pocket as much as possible. I hope that with a few hundred dollers I could have a bike to play in the river bed with and eventualy pass it down to my kids (when/if I have one).
