Hi,  I am in the San Fernando Valley.  What are you doing for the rebuild?  Need any parts?

So far, I am really trying to just get it to run.  Changed the spark plugs, got a stock bar, am in the process of cleaning the carbs.  The usual.  I am sure at some point the parts list will grow.  I am slowly getting into it.  I think once i fet the motor running, all i really need to do is rebuild the brakes and then ride for the rest of the summer before i really "begin" my project.
