Hooking into it now.
The further I get into it, the happier I am with the condition of it all. I split the box last night and the gears are great. All the gear dogs are nearly perfect. Some of the bearings are a little notchy but I was replacing them anyway. Crank is OEM so I will recondition it with oem parts.
I pulled the forks apart tonight and they are pretty good too.
I have put together oem parts list of everything I want and it is about $2,400 if I buy here in Aust. or $1,300 from the U.S. Even with the crap exchange rate. Something I did notice is that there are actually more parts available here in Aust than in the U.S. It may say 'no longer available' on the U.S. Websites but Aust has them in stock.
A brand new FMF system is ordered as well.
This week I have to try and match the silver paint for the swingarm and lower forklegs before I bead blast them. I think I will just take them to my mate who is a panel beater to match it. He also says that he has a special clear coat that's virtually indestructible.
The engine cases will be bead blasted as well. I think I will just use the VHT gloss black on them and the VHT primer and clear coat.
I've nearly got the steering damper sorted, so then the frame can be sand blasted and painted. I think the colour called 'Radical White'.
