LOL - I would bet my last dollar on it - I know I'd be all over it until
she fires up & I'm betting she'll not let you down !

How are the forks and seals ?

Yes indeedy - working on the mezzanine in the shed, and every time I go up/down the ladder I pass the bike and want to get going on her. Gotta focus - finish the shed, finish the shed, finish the shed........................

Fork legs unpitted, seals and dust covers appear good. I do suspect though, that the rubber will have hardened and will need replacing before any solid ride.

I bet the CCT is still fresh.

Same color as mine. Shine her up and get her in the sun and try to count the different shades of that silver you see

Another silver lady saved from the wreckers ball.
Bad luck Naga, next time buy it when you see it like Bear did LOL
And I'm jealous too, just like everyone else.

I feel ya! I'm working on my carbs instead of getting the lines for the washing machine installed under the mobile home before winter! Not to mention the jag's engine is still not even bolted to the tranny yet! Speaking of which i gotta get out there soon and get them on the bike. My pills are kicking in right now!
