Lee, I should have the correct right side fork slider and probably other parts you might need, Happyrock isn't far from Gresham, neighbor.

Thanks Randy...this is my first one in 30 or so years...

Thanks for the response Dick...I was hoping someone in the neighborhood would chime in...
Looking forward to having a good long chat.

Thought I'd post a picture or two ....almost have the dismantle complete.







Wheels,front forks,swing arm and motor shouldn't be a problem to have done this weekend.
Was able to free up the motor with wd-40 and a little soaking time...put a rubber belt oil filter removal tool on the rotor ...carefully...and it didn't take much pressure.

What a rellief.

It doesn't make a full revolution but close...feels like some thing might be hitting inside.

Thinking I'll get some blasting done and prime with a rattle can primer till I have all the parts I need before power coat..
Still looking for a few things.
Will post in want ad section.
Thanks to all watching and commenting.

Update..
Sixtiescycles stopped by today and left some stuff I needed and am getting really close to having everything for the blaster and coating guy.
Have a few things on the frame that need attention first..



One of the engine mounting tabs needs repair...my welder buddy say's no problamo..

Then something is missing here and was hoping some one had a good picture to see what I need to have fabed up for the seat.





Thanks to all for following and comments.

Busy day today, first stop at Lee's to do some dealing for parts he and I needed for our projects, then to Paul Strassmaier's to access the Vapor Blaster and what it would take to get it up and running, onto a co-workers to look at his latest addition to the stable, a salt flats bike, CX500 Honda, and lastly to Jack's place to drop off a CA77 stainless muffler and an early '61, '62 type headlight bucket.

Lee, I found the early seat mount I cut off a frame that "could" be used with an early seat on your late frame. I also have the early pan and possibly between your pan and this one you might be able repair yours. I checked the width of the swing arms, looks like I have one for the big brake wheel and a complete rear wheel, looks in better shape than the front I brought you. I need to check to see if it's straight.

Painfully slow restore...Can't describe how painful it is to have this bike in the garage and no time to spend on it.
Picked up the correct front forks and wheel and am starting there until l I find what I need to finish the frame.
Was wondering at what point on a rim do you decide if it's worth rechroming.



Figured the spokes are probably better off new old stock of aftermarket.
I've seen them on EBAY
This is a start.





My first wheel ...
Should have the correct rear wheel and hub tomorrow and try and find time to tear it apart as well.
Thanks all..NN7X
