I've been using postimage with good results, too. Easy to use.

Thanks Twintuned!

Great resurrection! Love those shouldered rims, and your pipes came out really nice. Do you know what kind of tank you have? It looks great. Good job,
Wade

Magnificent!
Wade

Oh, my. What a fine machine!
Wade

That is fantastic. Some fine engineering solutions going on under that hood: the shift linkage, clutch cable, exhausts, drive shaft off the countershaft. Love the high tension wires! The car itself is really cool, too...but in noticing the "choke" plunger, I wonder how they start it? Too dark down by the kickstart shaft to see what ingenious mechanism is utilized. Maybe they park it on a hill  ;D

Hella cool. My dad had a tangerine yellow/orange Fiat 124 coupe with stripes similar to those when I was a kid, so that machine strikes a chord with me. I'd be happy to have it and ride it just the way it is...until I couldn't stand it anymore and had to drag the paint scheme at least into the '80s!

Holy buckets, Jim, you're way hotter than I would have guessed!

Well, my research led me to an Aprilia RS125 front master cylinder made by Grimeca. Tough to find, except for a German seller on eBay with a dozen or so. Made an offer, they accepted, I second-guessed my decision...oh well. Levers are available ($$$), rebuild kits not. Found a reference somewhere to Grimeca closing its doors, which would explain the latter 
Found a new lever tonight on eBay from a UK seller and pulled the trigger; half the going price including shipping! Must be too good to be true.
received rebuild kit and pistons for the Brembo caliper from OPP, so WHEN the master cylinder parts arrive from afar and IF the cylinder makes pressure, I should have a nice front brake system. Note to self: no eBay after 9:00 p.m.

I like it. Are those Spec II classics?
Wade

And then I read another thread which referred to Oregon Motorcycle Products and found the answer to my question. Apparently it is still done!

The auto-parts store coils on the downtubes was a common mod long ago, wasn't it?
