The battery in my computer decided to die, so I'm back now after 7 days. Thanks to Amazon.
Bike update- The motor I thought that turned had a broken woodruff key , so the magneto turned but the piston didn't move.
Piston is frozen at the bottom of the stroke and has been soaking in Kroil since I got the darn thing. Motor and forks were filled with water and trans was froze too. So I have some work to do.
Same with the stuck cylinder head. The cylinder head won't budge, so time to get out my 2 spare motors and build one til I can work on the matching number motor.
Front forks off, swing arm off, frame is void of paint and will be primer-ed today.
Pictures to come.

Looks great Rick.
I’m sure all of us that took a bike that was destined to be melted and giving it a new life was very satisfying. Keep up the good work.
Your bike reminded me of my first restore, 65 Honda S90, it was like turning horse s**t into ice cream.
Thanks Mark
