Well I think I'm going to take the plunge and get cracking on this thing. I think it will be a very cool conversation piece with an occasional ride up the street when finished. I'm restoring it to a very high standard. If I'm going to do it, I'm doing it right. Whatever it's worth is whatever it's worth...
One of the things I need to make a decision on is which rear shocks to use. Everything else is just being restored back to original but the rear shocks are trashed and not rebuildable. Any suggestions for something reasonably priced for a bike that will see seldom to no use. I just want something that is as close to stock as possible. It looks like most or all come with springs but I could sand blast and paint the old springs if necessary.
Is there a go to guy that most of you use for parts?
I have a local guy to do the motor and will do most of the other work myself. I do need several parts though...
Thanks for the help!
