Hi All,

I have been a member for a while now but this is my first post.  I restored my sandcast a few years ago and have almost 1000 miles on it since.  I now want to make my restoration a little more correct than it currently is.  The things that I know that I need to replace are as follows:

Real sandcast seat vs the Plastic pan repop that I have now.  Should I be getting a 10 hole Yamiya one or the 17 hole $1000 one sold on ebay?
Correct tank trim vs the later version that I have now
Correct Mirrors vs the cheap ones I have now
Re powder coat the center stand black-the guy put it in the wrong pile and it got the silver color like other parts
Get a new wiring harness as mine has 20+ repairs to it-I dread the tear down to make this happen.
Put progressive fork springs in as I now have a pogo stick front end.

I spent over $1200 on NOS HM 300 exhaust-was this a mistake vs the Yamiya Lotus root ones?

I ordered the Yamiya sticker kit and noticed many inconsistencies from my original rear fender sticker-unfortunately he would not grant me a refund.


Things that I have purposely changed to make it a rider/meet my personal taste are Dyna electronic ignition, Dyna coils and wires, Stainless steel hex bolts on the engine case covers and new tires.

The bike runs flawlessly/fires immediately and is very smooth since I synchronized the carbs.

The engine was rebuilt with all NOS parts with the 2nd oversize pistons and rings due to grooving in #2 cylinder.  Only thing not NOS were the APE studs.

Frame#5708
Engine#5420

What else am I missing?  All comments and suggestions are welcome!!

Thanks,

Ed Decker
