Jim what abound the gear set and clutch,were they affected by the water.Was it cost effective to source this bike from the U.S. and get it shipped?

[jimg1au]

i will let you know when i am finished.
380.00 usd was to replace all the rusty gears and primary drives
but since i have found a complete 400 bottom end for 125.00 us so thats comming as well.
you cant have enough spares
