    Very nice bike!! I hope you upate us with pics as you do the restoration.
    One suggestion though...I wouldn't sandblast the fiberglass parts, just sand them down by hand. Sandblasting could destroy them unless you're very experienced.

    Touche. I meant to say I'm having the gas tank sandblasted. The fiberglass parts will be done by hand. I have zero experience doing sandblasting. I have a friend who works in a machine shop who will do my gas tank for me! And rest assured mates, I will be posting lots of pics and updates!

    I finally have had some spare time this past week. So I began to disassemble my bike. So far I've removed the gas tank, seat, and carbs. I've sanded down the seat, and have sent my gas tank off to a friend (who lives in town) for sand blasting. I have taken a number of pics this week, and will be posting them later this evening! Right now, though, I'm picking up some paint
