By the time I got it going again, I believe all I used was the cases and frame and paperwork. I ended up doing a total rebuild on it. Like your bike most of the body parts were rotten, fortunately I had a garage full of other basket 350's at the time to pull parts from. He saw me coming on that one, still stings after all these years!Hairy Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07561143328956868685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120779025392845539.post-47336800279905607012013-02-19T19:18:27.016+00:002013-02-19T19:18:27.016+00:00Oh dear!Oh dear!muzriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06158336040574363586noreply@blogger.com
