* Modified front brake to dual action with billet lever arms
* Stainless steel foot pegs

* Hammer formed mud guard

The list of new parts as follows:

* Tires - Dunlop
* Seat cover & foam
* Fenders
* Chain
* Levers
* Grips
* Handle bars

Front forks have machined details, with new seals and oil, and look great.

As this motorcycle was proudly displayed indoors there has been no fuel in it since restoration.
The engine has new gaskets and good compression but will need a new stator coil to run.
