Still not finished, although I have all the parts to finish it, just being held up waiting on swing arm bearings and steering head set bearings.
Very frustrating...

If you are using a all balls kit at steering head, it will not fit with out mods

Kev do you need the stickers that go on the shock reservoirs? i think i might have the correct ones. i will compare the ones i have against an original one i still have. Also the Takasago rim stickers are available from reproductiondecals.com and there would have been a warning decal on the rear fender ans 20 to 1 premix sticker on the tank.
