Whats really cool about this forum is the amount of people here that are more than eager to help.

I'm about 90% of the way there in obtaining parts. Since this is a slow process I bagged everything by page

number from the parts list manual as I order/rebuild/clean etc....

Nice project. Your bags look like what I had going years ago with my S3. I'm sure once you get in teh saddle and have it running, the broad smiles and memories will abound. :thumbup:

I'm hoping someone brings an H2B to the gap for some photography. This boxed up one I have had me scratching my head at times. :think: Thank goodness for the parts manuals and the resource site. :thumbup:

Yeah, I'm a slow poke but it's getting there.
All of the black parts are now powdercoated.

I got all of the plated parts back yesterday. The smallest parts didn't come out very well.
The larger parts were perfect.

The yellow chromate came out well also.

And now a box of items to be sent out for chroming.
