All metal pieces previously yellow passivated now zinc passivated! Yellow only appeared in 1970 I was told ?

The suspension has been redone since the first try was not optimal. Also custom shock absorbers were fitted

Upgraded the suspension mounts, as the originals appear a bit flimsy (at least the reproductions I initially got)

Lastly, I am looking for a pair of Fiamm curved air horns. The original Road Masters in brass (often painted blue). If anyone has a source, please PM me
