[QUOTE="theraymondguy, post: 62896, member: 5318"] Well, further research has shown that: Hubs & fork bodies are to be polished / "natural" finish (I'd love it if someone could explain how to duplicate this, i believe just metal polish, no buffing?) The magneto cover does have a clear coat on it. Any thoughts on removal would be great. You'll note that the mag cover I have has the background of the "Honda" blacked out, should be fun to replicate. I also received my order from DeWildt Honda (who gave me jobber cost, btw). Original hand levers are no longer available, but OE replacements (minus the rubber capping on the end) can still be had. Original mirrors are listed as no longer available on Bike Bandit and CMSNL, I got mine no issue through the local dealer :41:. Original throttle grip, head lamp ass'y (I'll be installing a diode on the low beam circuit to prevent future failures) filter element and enough gaskets to service the oil filter/slinger should make for some fun:20:. A new Denso spark plug to freshen up the ignition, after fouling a collection of NGK's through the years for various reasons I'm a firm believer that NGK really is the No Good Kind. I also picked up a new JIS screwdriver bit from the dealer (DeWildt Honda in Hamilton) to hopefully ease the pain of 'Virgin' 36 year old clutch cover bolts; I'll be welding it into a 1/4" drive socket just like the last one.
