Greg,

I have a headlight trim ring (fair chrome) you can have and possibly a
pair of fork lowers and the valve cover. I'll have to check with a
nearby bud and see if he's decided to build his basketcase Ambo up stock
or as a giant, mutant scrambler thingy. Let you know a.s.a.p.

Glad you came through it mostly okay, give yourself adequate time to
heal fully. Cheers,

Charlie

Greg,

I have the right crash bar, headlight bucket and fender trim. Crash bar
and trim need rechroming, but they are yours for the cost of shipping.
The headlight bucket is missing the little tab that the ring screws to.
You can take it off your old one and rivet it back on the new /old one.

 my first accident. finally, after many years of riding, i got in a
wreck. i'm always a cautious rider, and thank god i was wearing
leather jacket and full face. at 9pm on saturday, riding with 2 other
riders (i was 3rd) came through a long sweeping "s" turn on an 2 lane
road in an industrial section of town. the guy in front of me
overshot the second curve, hit an embankment, sprayed gravel all over
the road, and went down. i was 40' or so behind him, started to
swurve to miss, but his bike was spinning, and popped into my way
(maybe 15 feet ahead of me at that point) gravel under my tire, which
let loose and i went down. hard. (at least i didn't hit the other
rider). i was doing 45mph at the time. broken collarbone. i knew it
the instant i hit (loud bang noise....). other rider has several
broken ribs and lotsa road rash. i was amazed that i lived and
nothing serious (a broken collarbone as most of you already probably
know is a painful injury..) so anyways, it's been a few days, and i
took inventory of my ambo - gotta start getting the busted pieces back
together...if anyone has any of these parts for sale/trade, let me
know, as i'd like to get back on the horse as soon as possible
(hopefully my injury will heal in the next month or 2).
here's what is not repairable, and needs replacement, that i don't
have a spare of.....it's a 71 ambo..
headlight bucket
headlight trim ring
front fender chrome trim
front fender
fork lowers
front crash bar(right)
valve cover
side cover (right)
right muffler (mac whispertone)
