I cannot work out why you are putting it back together without fixing every thing....snip
And ps Kurt cobain was the man!!!!!!

I wanted to be certain as to what I need to replace.
I like pulling them apart
I have spark
I wont loose parts in my maze of a shed until I rebuild.
 Re Kirk ...Yeah he was great... best musical option of the provided avatars.

After rummaging through I think no:
- barrel
- kick starter
- Front disc caliper, line or reservoir
- gear shift
- levers, cables, throttle assy

This guy might have some bits for you.

Thanks!

I'm amazed how many new bits you can get for an old bike! I can buy almost everything brand new.

Yeah its nice when the parts are easy to get.
That might take some of the sport out of it for the guys doing the much older bikes?
Traversing the country to pick bits up would be  more and more dominant with the older bikes I would assume and part of the journey in restoring the bike.

I had a go at repairing the seat base with a mate.

I've also ordered a  few more parts
Swingarm bushes
Throttle cable
Fork seals
Link kit
Reed kit
Engine Seal kit
Kick idle gear
Main bearings
I've cleaned up the plastics a bit more and had a good look at the frame now its all stripped down. It looks like its been welded up in the past... I'm thinking I will grind it back and neaten up the job as its a bit backyard.
I have more parts I need to order as well and I'm trying to finalize that one.
I'll have to pull down the forks and see if they need a bush kit as well. I'm thinking they will after seeing the poor condition of everything else.

Got some shiny white bits arrive…a bit premature I know, but why not…Looking pretty. Shock will be finished this week. Swing arm next week. Need to order the s/arm and linkage bearings/seals. Forks have issues with internals. Bolts all in getting stripped and re-zinc'd. Need to find a Brisbane engine guy to help out with the bottom end/gearbox.

I pulled the rest of the bike down last week.

I'm coming to terms with this frame this bike isn't going to be as good a restorer as I had hoped as it has a few small issues.
