New bottom and top ends.
Has been sitting since rebuild because of a shift fork issue. The 2 that are NEARLY identical were reversed is my guess.
Anyway, I plan to straighten out the transmission issue, and had wanted to restore it.
I have a buddy who wants it, but I don't know what it is worth.
Any advice/criticisms welcome.

The big bore market is on fire right now.. With lip stick on a pig (meaning, better curb appeal via graphics, etc), your bike as it sits could sell for $3k to the right guy.. as I read and viewed this post, I'd be out at anything over $1,500. Your call on how much time and money you want to throw at / forego on this bike.
Regarding the rusty header pipe - Evapo-Rust is the bee's knees
I'm not going to sell a bike that doesn't work, and I already know about the shift fork thing. So I'll be rectifying that.
My buddy is not afraid to do things to restore it otherwise, so, yeah.
It's a wierd deal.
My best friend owned the bike, I rode it plenty. He's a smart guy, but he let the transmission fall apart during re-installation, and thought the 2 forks were the same. I know from experience they differ slightly. That's all that's wrong.
The Shop
Here's what happens. 2 of these forks are almost mirrored. You can swap them.
