Motoblag's '71 Duster

Got a complete set of tires on the way from Summit. $450 shipped, half the price the local tire store was quoting. I'll try to wrestle the tires on and off with my tire changer but reserve the right to have a shop do that.

New rear shocks, drums painted everywhere but the friction surfaces with high temp paint:



New rear brake soft line. Looks a little stretched but the new one is same length as the old. This is also at full suspension droop. I'll keep an eye on it. Damned retention clip and bracket were rusted onto the old soft line something fierce.



Makin' progress:
