I finally finished my engine and have put it to one side while I take care of the rest of the bike.
Today I completely disassembled stand have the frame in pieces on the floor for cleaning and some painting.

Next step will be suspension.
New front springs will be the first thing.

But I'm wondering about the rear shock.
This bike was sitting unused for over 25 years.
Will the rear shock still be good or will it have seized up a bit inside ?

Should I just budget for a new shock from Wilbers or Hagon ?

Also, does anyone have recommendations for new front springs ?
Progressive ?

Thanks for any info.
