I got all the seals and o-rings for the forks from YDS in the UK. Much cheaper and faster to ship stuff from the UK than the USA I've found. I had to use the left fork leg off one of my donor A1's as the one from the A7 was badly rust pitted. The 2 I have now are in pretty good shape. I got some NOS fork cap bolts and washers from NW Vintage. These have to be the simplest forks I've ever seen. I got the frame sandblasted and primed and painted.

Thanks guys, the front tire is mounted correctly according to the arrow on it. It's an Avon, maybe it just looks backward cause the British tire doesn't want to be on a Japnaese bike! ;D

Just found a 1970 A1ss or A7ss still with the yellow paint. It is rough but maybe worth saving as most of the cars and bikes etc are going to the crushers.My buddy sent me photos so I have no idea what size it is..

If you don't want it, I'll take it. I still need some stuff for my A7SS.

I spoke to the women who is in charge of the estate and she will be there on Weds. I'll have a look then and make an offer.
