the paint used is Sunshine Red by RS paints. I would use them again but they are based in the UK and shipping was sky high. great products though!

I still have a lot to do. things like getting a air cleaner case ready but I am hesitant to cut one up to use with the pod filter.

I plan on having Rich mod a Webco head and mod the 38 mm carb. I am not wanting to risk loosing power so for now the 38 mm carb stays.

if I get the notion to engineer a air cleaner case and the materials to construct a box for it. a easy way out is using a 34 mm carb and then I could use the factory air cleaner and boot.

of course getting the turn signals and the brake and tail light bracket and the other parts to fit it.

I plan on getting another pair of wheels for it then mount some Dunlop D606 tires. then there is the sleeper pipe. there is still much to go over.

I think after this latest batch of parts then I will need to go after the paints themselves and all the other paint supplies to go with it.

might have the bike finished by spring or early summer if the Lord permits.

I need to do more work to the 1971 RT1B and get that other 1968 DT1 project going then the 1970 DT1 and somewhere in there get the 1971 Z50 project going.

much to do indeed!

On those cracks in the fender.Drill a small hole at the end of the crack before you solder them to stop them from growing any longer.
