Starting a mild resto on a CA160. Want this thing in shape by April if possible. Just picked it up a few weeks ago ready to start the build. Already in decent shape runs great mostly superficial changes being made. Powder-coating, lots of cleaning and some minor replacement of minor parts. Rust situation is good, bike came from Indiana, I'm in AZ so no more rust... :) Never actually seen one of these rising around Tucson, this things definitely going to turn heads.

I already have a preliminary parts list I'm looking for:

I need ASAP:

1 upper chain guard
2 plastic sprocket cover
3 a decent left muffler (not beat up, don't care about condition of chrome surface scuffing/light rust, NO BIG DENTS!!)
4 seat mount

Just posted the first pics, yeah I work on my shit in the kitchen...excuse the mess..!

The bike is actually complete, I currently have the side covers off because I am installing a new K&N Hi-Flow Filter & a new "Rhino" brand 6V battery. To my knowledge these are currently the only two items in need of immediate repair (to prevent any damage) before I start riding the bike.

The seat is off too, getting a new cover put on right now (ebay Thai krap $40), This is obviously just to get me by until I can afford a custom redo in burgundy Ostrich/Stingray Row Stone.. I'm serious.
:D
