40 degrees sounds positively balmy, compared to the 23 degrees and strong winds here in Utah with another 6 inches of snow today. Welcome and good luck with your project and parts search, joining here is probably the best move you can make at this stage, there doesn't seem any thing that someone can't give you advice and pointers on, such is the level of experience and expertise - great people too.

Just got a pic of the bike in the garage. Looking at it the exhaust will have to come off for the back tire to come off for chain and sprockets. Perfect time to get a new one.
