You will be able to see what's in the Off-topic forum after you've reached 10 posts. That is to prevent someone who's not really interested in the forum as a whole from spamming people.

My work computer won't let me look at the site so I'll check it out tonight from home.

Nobody will complain. Most here love the old two-strokes.

That looks like some mighty fine work. Very impressive polishing.

Those carbs polished up real easy. I used to take Simichrome polish and a toothbrush to the ones on my 305 and have them looking like chrome in minutes. The aluminum back then on the covers was a little softer than now and polished up nicely.

Reminds me of the days when we rode two strokes for enjoyment.

Probably 25 years ago someone tried to give me a non-running tea kettle and I was dumber than hell and never picked it up. Still kicking myself over that one.

Awesome bike and awesome work! I owned and rebuilt a GT380 about 25 years ago. I tried sell it shortly after - the best I could get back then was $400 - MAN! that breaks my heart (a single tear just fell in to my beer) - now they change hands for silly money. I really enjoyed the GT380 - it was not as quick as my friends X7 (just too heavy - it felt like a bag of bricks going in to bends) but I loved it all the same. Good luck and thanks for the post.
