I've been reading up on it and finagling a few things.
#1 - Determined a paint scheme: Body panels, tank & wheels will be Metallic Charcoal. Frame will be Anthracite. Not going to paint the frame until winter when I tear the whole bike down again.
- Painted the wheels. Going to clear coat them tonight.
- Ordered the POR15 tank refurb kit and a bunch of other parts.
- Removed the other fork and began assembling tools to dismantle forks. Need SAE15 fork oil and have no idea where to get it!
- Started cleaning chain and cogs with moly cleaner/grease.
Will begin reassembly of rear wheel this week with reassembly of front end once the fork oil is located.
Also want to take exhaust off, scrape surface rust, and paint with hi-temp black.
Will attach tank once cleaned and painted.
Then, vroom vrooom.

i had a bottle of fork oil, but my buddy took it as a storage fee.
you should be able to get the oil at north reading honda kawasaki. freddy usually has everything there.
that junk yard/garage place i told you about is off of exit 37 off 495. going towards billerica.

i know Fred in North Reading. almost bought a helmet from him, but found it cheaper in NH.
i'll check the junkyard place too for the brakes. i emailed my brake buy in Lowell but he only does car and truck rotors, not bikes. oh well...
sanded the rough spots on the tank tonight and re-primed. got my POR15 in the mail! that's going in tomorrow night. sanded and primed the front fender. cleared the rear wheel so it's ready to mount. put a 2nd coat of paint on the front wheel, gets cleared tomorrow. getting there....
