            Working fast! Yes, those carbs can be a bit of a PITA to remove.

                    That is a real beauty and highly desired by lots of us that don't have one. What was the motivation for your friend to sell it?

                        Probably my long term interest and pestering.

                        Also, he had six bikes and had a hard time storing them all. Now he has five, and so do I.

                            Email sent. I'm also interested in a front brake master cylinder if anyone has one.

                                That's my old bike, I'm going to miss it. I'll have to get by with my other 5 bikes.

                                    The inner fork tubes are pitted from rocks. Does anyone here know if that can be repaired?

                                                I've been told there's a carb manual on this forum to walk me through replacing the O-rings. But, I can't seem to find it.
