Thanks for the welcome.

I didn't even realize this WAS a pushrod motor. I just assumed it was OHC. But I went and looked at the parts manual that I have and sure enough - pushrods. No worries either way - it ran like a champ!

Yeah, I'll have a look at the fork legs. And I DO have spares from the parts bike, but the parts bike had rusty fork tubes. The kind of rust and pits that tear fork seals, so I won't be able to just do a straight swap. Maybe a mix'n'match deal.

This carb is a Keihin knock-off and it came off the parts bike. The jets even had the little stylized "K" on 'em. And yep, it's a stainless header. It came from ebay. The original bike didn't have the exhaust, and the parts bike had some slightly different style and wouldn't fit. So, this one was brand new off ebay for, like, $40. The muffler/spark arrestor came from the parts bike.

Still, it's a fun ride!
