Hi Doc.
Thanks for that but I already downloaded that MR manual stuff and it's great but it doesn't have any thing on the forks but it sure is helpfull in the motor area.Yes the DG head and pipe are cool but i am putting the original pipe on it when i source a chrome pipe shield from ebay or some where .This bike is going to be sold off as i am restoring another one.
Cheers,
