Started disassembly for paint strip. Found a ziblock baggie full of old rusted tools in the toolbox. Maybe the original tools?

And of course, the ultimate question. Did I overpay ($500)

Great price for a nice bike like that! Expect to double your outlay as you get it in to shape....

Yeah. I figured another 500-1k assuming no major issues with the motor...exhaust being the biggest expense

Got some work done last night. Started stripping the gas tank. 3 layers of paint. An ugly blue, a purplish gold flake, and the original black. I am using citristrip and it seems to work ok. Also was able to get the headlight out. Mine is missing the screws that hold the headlight in the bucket, and the speedo in the bucket. Anyone have the correct sizes for those? Also started removal of the front fender. Got every bolt out except the ony from the brake stay to the left fork. It has some sort of clip that keeps me from being able to get a socket on the bolt. Any ideas there?

That keeps the bolt from backing out. Bend it back to get on it. Bend it back against the flat of the bolt after reinstalling.

Perfect. It is pretty rust so hopefully it does not snap on me
