I’ve used Caswell with excellent results.

Nice to see another F0 build.

I hope the rest of the seat rail is there.

This seat trim should run along the seat along the side. I cant tell if it was cut off on yours or is buried behind the duct tape.

The hardware to secure the seat trim is not available anymore, so I've made my own from threaded screws/nuts from Home Depot

Congrats BassMan. Add seat to your list, duct tape wont cut it!

That sucks the tank is rotted, looks like the paint was in good shape otherwise. How is the muffler? I think I have seen more blue F0 owners here than orange.

Got a start. Sanded lightly for a few hours and am glad I did. Not perfect, but correct.

Repop seat cover on it's way tomorrow.

After those couple things getting the tank in for repair and starting on electrics.

I and now you too can only wish...there are none. To make matters worse, the center of the seat trim was color matched to the bodywork, so not only is it difficult to obtain decent examples, you will also need the right color.

Keep your eyes open on Craigslist and Facebook Market. People decide to install cafe seats and get rid of the stocker. That's how I got the trim for my seat.

They do show up occasionally on the Cmsnl website over in Europe. They had some about a year ago for around $50 USD. I just checked and they currently don't have any. Keep checking their website.

Will those white dots come off the gas tank ?

One popped on n Facebook Market today, a pretty low mileage bike in Indiana. It has an aftermarket exhaust, but otherwise looks complete. He's asking $1,500

Yes. They were used to scan dimensions for a 3d printer.

Oh OK. Interesting. If you don't mind me asking what was it getting scanned for. Know nothing about that type of stuff.
