Very nice, lovely in fact.
From the pics it looks like it didn't need any paint work, however I'll ask anyway. Any painting done to it? I'm curious about paint colours and manufacturers. |

Yes, I realized a few weeks back, the steering damper is probably gummed up inside just like the suspension was.
Was easy or difficult to disassemble? Suggestions for fluid and volume of? |

Yes, when I had her together again, I was stunned how pretty she is. Even though she's 33 she still looks stunning. What attracted me to her all those years ago.
She has developed a few flaws as she' ... |

Stacked 3 washers behind the plate to get the sprocket located correctly.
Can't think of any reason not to apply the body work and take it for a spin.

Discussed it at the machine shop and went with a steel part. Thinner.
Need to get the hardware to attach it. Off on ... |

Interesting.
The size of my sprocket must be different. Good thing I didn't buy your spare as it would have been too small!
I'm going to take this down to a local machine shop and see what it'll c ... |
