Get on over to the Tech Section and scan it for things you really need. Then ride it while you wrench on it a little. Good information there with pictures. Looks nice. You done good, and the $300 you saved will just about cover the tires and head plug/timing chain adjuster. I have a good muffler without guts and a heat shield for postage if you want it. Don't buy nothing without letting us know what you need. Most of the guys and gals here have discarded a few items and usually don't ask much for them. Take care and keep us posted on your exploits. Remember the Tech Section.  Smiley

For the rust in the tank......just go to the hardware store and buy phosporic acid (Don't use Muratic Acid as it makes the metal brittle).  First clean the tank using something like Simple Green, then use the Phosporic Acid until the rust is dissolved, then rinse out with warm water and dry it as guickly as possible using compressed air or a blow drier.  You should not need the BB's or bolts unless there is very heavy rust.  Bolts and BB's can get stuck in the corners and are very hard to get out of the tank.

They stopped making the Ospho I was getting for $12.00 a quart. Now, it looks like the same bottle, different label, its called Jasco, sells for about $6.00 a quart. Looks about the same, works about the same, if its not the very same stuff, its a hair stouter. Its a dilute phosphoric acid & turns red iron oxide into black iron phosphate & its harder than the original surface I do believe. It wont work on scale, at all, it will only turn the outer surface black & rust will live on down inside.
