Still waiting on a set of Jim'S pipes and some S3 carbs. Carbs are on the way from JohhnyO. Also have an S3 clutch from 1BadRD of the 2-Stroke World board. Thanks to both of you!

Many thanks also to:
- N2trips for a seat pan and a points cam
- 650hardtail for a caliper pad stopper
- Rotortech for enough rubber grommets to complete the restoration
And to everyone that was kind enough to answer all of my questions as I brought this S2A back to life. The value of these forums can't be measured ... especially to a hack like me.

A few pics:

You ain't no hack, that is beautiful! Sometimes you see a bike and think "I hope I can approach that level of workmanship"! :thumbup:

Beautiful work. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: In case no one has told you, you have to source a S3/ KH 400 primary gear to install the 400 clutch which you will need with S3 carbs and chambers.

Tim,

Yeah, the primary gear is all cleaned on the bench with the clutch and new frictions are on the way.

Jim,

I NEED THOSE PIPES! No, I realize how busy you must be and I can wait. What bars do you think? Superbike maybe?
