Luckily all the front suspension parts are there. One fork has been repaired with a washer.

Showing the front side of the front fork assembly.

Pic showing back side of fork assembly. Original paint still showing thru the black paint.

Front half of frame and fork assembly prior to tear down and sandblasting.

This is the original tag I removed from the frame. Although it looks kinda primative, all it reads is serial and model number. It's going back on the same way.

The front fork primed and ready for paint.

The fork springs assembled and ready to go. Gonna change the color back to the original orange.

Inside the frame rails showing a washer cut in half and welded to a small piece of square tubing. What it was originally intended for, I do not know.

The motor plate showing the foot pegs mocked up.

The fork tube showing the two holes where the ID tag mounts.
