Ok, I was trying to figure out how i was going to do the tank. I stripped the frame down to metal because all of the chips in the paint, i just figured if im going to go through all this work, i may as well do it right. I found a nice bright red that im painting it, and silver for the tank. I will post some pictures as it comes along. So I was wondering, the front forks are pretty haggered and one of the springs is about shot. I found a rebuilt kit with springs and seals for 30 plus s/h but the rods are pitted up pretty bad, i also found new forks for about 85 delivered. I would think if the fork rod is pitted up really bad, then they probably wouldnt work that well.
I also bought the spokes on ebay for $29, and they are very nice, my weels look brand new, i also ordered a new front tire from Dennis kirk for $16 and inner tube. They have the best prices for tires that I have found, and fast delivery.
