Got a few more things packed up... The large box is the rear Takasago rim, along with the fork headlight ears and the brake stay on their way to Tripp Plating in NY for rechrome, thank you Z1kzonly. The small box is the crush drive/sprocket carrier off the the vapor hone guy. Scott Beamo in Grand Rapids MI...

Looks like you'll be wrenching, not riding this summer!

For vintage nuts, bolts and screws....I haven't tried these guys but their stuff looks pretty accurate.

I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.
