Re: 1970 T350 Restoration
Very nice work, wish mine was this far along but hit a bit of brick wall with it for a while. Have got my wheels off for rebuild at the mo and hopefully will get everything out for paint in a few weeks, so am hoping it will come together pretty quick when everythings back. Where did you get your fork dust seals from as i cant find any or figure out what other model might fit.
hope you enjoy riding it after all the hard work.
cheers, Jon

Re: 1970 T350 Restoration
Thanks Jon. When you say "fork dust seals", I think you mean the outer rubber boots? If so, great question! I looked all over the place with no luck (did find one set but the price was outrageous), until after making some detailed measurements, I realized that the dust boots for a Yamaha XS650 looked like they would fit, and appearance wise looked very close to the Suzuki OEM ones. I got them from a place called "Mike's XS", on the web. I must say, the fit was perfect.Jon49 wrote: Where did you get your fork dust seals from as i cant find any or figure out what other model might fit.

all that is missing is a nice grab rail to finish it off.
