Hey Guys,

Well....Fred and others were right on the money. Steering tube came out the
bottom with a little more persuation. Is it any wonder why Loopers love this
list so much? Thanks guys.

So now I am down to the "Building Blocks of Eldo Life". Basically the frame
and engine have been broken down to the bare essentials and I will begin to
resurrect this great machine.

One question for the Wise Men of the Loop Empire. It was suggested that I
not remove the lower nut on the steering tube. That will essentially leave
it in the lower triple tree. I would like to get that triple tree
powdercoated. Does it make sense to mask everything really well that I don't
want coated and give it to them? Suggestions?

By the way... the steering head bearings and races were near perfect.

Thanks again guys...I hope you all don't mind the questions.

Regards...Ian
