Well, I plan on stripping it down and doing a complete restore if I can. I haven't actually started on it yet, I'm getting married in May and will be moving then. I didn't want to tear it half way down and then lose a bunch of parts. Mine is pretty rough, but hey....if it was an easy project it wouldn't be fun right? I've toyed around with updating the brakes and stuff just to get something a little more reliable and easy to obtain parts for but I want to go as stock as possible. Mine is all locked up too, my brake and clutch levers included. Plus, my gear shift is missing, so I don't have clue why my rear wheel won't turn. I guess I'll find out in a couple more months. I might check back with you from time to time and ask if you've learned any tricks since it sounds like we have some similar problems.

I can understand waiting.
When I first got married I restored a CB160, my father in law swore I would never get it back together again.
Of course I did finish and I rode that bike alot too.
Sold it when I started my Triumph restoration.
That bike was built in my bed room.
My wife is so patient with me.
That stuff is all gone now but I have the experience and fun of the projects.
Fun times still ahead.
