Restoring V032

[Rick Penno]

Looking for parts to complete the restoration on my early 68 six days.Items needed include-
#1 seat foam and cover
#2 correct shocks
#3 Correct number plates,both sides and front [cut out for headlight]

Thanks in advance for any way you can help.

Seat foam you will have to cut, cover can be made, correct shocks you will have to pray as they don't exist, number plates on sides from Al Buehner but none on front as the correct headlamp was huge and only used that year as well as the shocks, correct airbox and rear sprocket hub/carrier/chainguard.  Good luck!

Rick,

Not sure if this helps or not, but NJB sells Girling reproductions that look pretty close to the fully shrouded 68 shocks. Wrong color, and would probably need lighter springs but they look pretty similar to the originals and appear to be the correct length (330MM).

Kip and Kevin,
Thanks for the response.I checked with Al and he doesn't have the side number plates.As far as the seat foam and cover,that is taken care of and Kevin as far as the shocks,I am looking for the fully shrouded non adjustable that I am thinking that is what the originals where like.So far the reproductions shocks that I have seen are pre load adjustable.

Thanks again Rick
