Looks keen but have never checked it for trueness. Let me dig out the hub and attach. Then i will spin it as an assembly to check run-out. Pretty is nice, pretty and correct is even better.

Did you figure a price on that rotor? Where are you located? I'm in Mississippi.

Haven't had time to grab my spare hub but will in a bit. If decent say 85 usd plus shipping.

Sounds good to me I definitely want it, no need to check for warpage. The used hub I purchased on eBay will be here Friday. I don't know if it has a date code on it, wasn't in the pictures. If your hub is a 73, I'd purchase it as well unless the one I get off of eBay is a 73.

Finally a little more progress. Forks done, front and rear wheels built. Top end on the engine finished and now got the engine in the frame. Disregard those nasty side covers on the engine. They were just old spares I put on in case I scratched something.

Finally back to work on the 73, I had another project present itself when I got stuck on untwisting the frame. Here's a before and after of the interim project and a picture of my frame straighting apparatus. I welcome any opinions of how to rearrange or modify the current setup. I have it under tension in the picture, and with tension, the frame is straight. I know I need to pull further to allow for snapback when tension is removed. Getting nervous:)
