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?
Have a look at this carb cleaning tutorial from Ed.

that's fantastic, thanks!
Finally completed the carb rebuild and took the old girl for a ride. I'd forgotten how powerful these old bikes are. This thing rips!
I'll get you some pics of the front brakes and splitter when I get a minute. Do you need pics of the splitter at the top of the forks? And then pics of the brakes and anti-dive setup?

I saw your friend's list of other bikes. Not sure you will be passing any of them (except the DL)
Nice bike regardless. I have a Red and a Blue....
Ed, if memory serves that piece that looks like cooling fins at the splitter is just a plastic cover.
I looked, but didn't fit anything on the rear caliper. I got to thinking I saw this part appear when removing the rear tail section of the bike and found it actually goes here, on the of the rear seat latch:
Now I'm seeing that this rear seat latch part should be at then end of the part, under the latch. In other words it's broke.
