For the work I just followed the manuals I have and went slow. I bought some pins/bolts from eBay to help guide the gearbox back on.  They worked well for $14. Also bought a clutch tool and main seal driver from Ken Lively.  As for parts I bought most from my local shop but did get main clutch components from motobins as they were cheaper even with shipping.  The $510 in parts and tools includes a new roundel for the tail piece and k75 for the tail piece. I also replaced several rubber boots which turned out to be relatively expensive. Once test ride is done it is on to new fork seals and new front tire.

Project no more.  It still has some things to be done to it, but it is running and carried me where I asked it to and got me back home.  Ok, it was a short test ride, but it worked as it should.

Sit nice bike, do your self a favour and fit a long mudflap or coat the front of your belly pan with truck bed liner. It will stop all the stone chips.
