Just got back from 10days in Cadomin. Spent the first 3 nights by the river before moving into the trees for the rest of the week.
Saw my first Grizz in the wild by the mine. Rode a new marked trail through the mine to a new lake "Drummond Ridge" I thinks it's named.
found a new waterfall too.

Still not perfect. But a lot better.
Need more patience and sanding disc's. They sure plug off fast

Had one of these when I was 8 years old. Pretty good shape for a 48 year old bike time for the hunt for Oem parts to do a survivor restoration on it.

Wow. 74? I had one, it was red and awesome! Probably a 78.

Google says they were made from 73-78.

You have any good vintage parts resources? I have a 1980 Ke 175 in the back of my dads garage I want to restore. Street legal 2 smoke! 🏍

Try mothers aluminum polish on a wool buffing wheel then go to a finishing compound to make crystal clear. Seal it after ceramic coat ideally once per year. Tape off your paint edges so you don’t burn them.

I had a twin to the red one, ran the bag off of it.

Not really lots of sources on the internet, Kijiji and eBay I don’t need to much for it. Proper bars, clutch and brake perch, kill switch and seat. Exhaust maybe to as the one on it is for a 1977 and later models.

If they’re just yellowed and faded not scratched up off bug spray works like a dream! Makes them new in about a minute

I had a 1972 125 Kawasaki. orange in colour. Rode that bike from Trail BC up to Fort McMurray back in 1978 with a buddy that was on a Honda 250.
