Got it in Somonauk, Ill. Purchased from second owner who got it from a friend that bought it new from Tuf Racing in Dekalb, Ill. This one had never been fixed up in its life. Think it still had the original front tire! Was completely stock except for a PSI pipe and in pretty poor shape mechanically, completely worn out.

Thanks! I dig Hi-Flite. I was happy to discover they were still in business. Had one of their safety seats on my 83 125 back in the day and now have them on all of the bikes I have rebuilt in the last few years.

After a long break the project is back on track. Got some of the more difficult to source parts. Have a new kick start idler gear. Shock is at Race Tech. Cylinder plating done and found an original piston. Cases repaired and the motor is ready for assembly. Will post some progress photos soon!
