All  those custom parts may really help locate it.  I have a related story for you...
     A couple years ago I met a younger rider at a local bike night.  He had put together a cb360 with a pretty neat hand made Giulari style seat.  It was very distinctive.  Next time I ran into the young man, he told me it had been stolen.  About 8 months later, I was perusing Craigslist as I often do, and decided to click on this cb360.  I instantly recognized the seat.  I managed to get in touch with the young man via some mutual friends and with the help of the police, he got his bike back and the guys who stole it were charged and convicted.
    So...keep doing as you are, and get the word out wherever you can.

Good luck to you.

Just once I'd like to catch one of those bas-tards.  Frontier justice.
