Looks like your bike is coming along. This site has lots of OEM and NOS parts. Try them out. And The cheapest place for tires is the second fiche store. Both have good prices but Bike Bandit has less parts for older bikes.

Oh well. When you get one, we can finally see the real quality of your bike. Have you gotten it any more assembled? Mine's still spread accross the garage waiting for some engine parts.

My tires were rusted onto the rims ... what a pain in the arse it was to get them off..

I sprayed so much CRC into the beed it wasn't funnny , but i got em off in the end.

On my first set of tires I cut of the tire and then used some pliers to cut the metal beads. Then I found out about soap. Use plenty of soap and l o n g screwdrivers.
