72 CB750 Chopper Project

Beginning a restoration of my 750K2.  I look forward to any suggestions, and advice along the way. First time attempting a project of this magnitude.

Well, Im beginning my tear down and finding more needs to be replaced than I originally thought.  I've seen some resources for OEM and NOS parts.  What are all your opinions in reference to the most reliable suppliers and quality parts?
