.This bike was my grandfathers, and as a surprise for my father, I will be restoring it. My father thinks that it is "too far gone" and in any other instance, I would say he was absolutely correct. Here is my starting point:  Got her stripped down today  And dropped off at the sandblaster  |

Front end is getting swapped back to original. As these need seals and I have no Effin clue what they came off of.
Bought a nearly complete parts bike yesterday.
I am however going to reuse the killer KYB shocks that are on it.... After some restoration of course.

There won't be a single part that is steel that's not going to be stripped to bare steel and repainted. This bike should be a real looker when it's done

KILLER vintage kyb shocks. Luckily they don't leak and the valving works great. I'm sure parts for them would be impossible to find
