the swap meet

I made out good at the Boone County Swap Meet in Lebanon, Indiana. The March meet was great, and even bigger and better this time, so I see this as eventually becoming one of the best around.

Checking out my score on my shop porch after getting home.


I'm really happy with this, an NOS Preston Petty front fender still in the wrapper. This will eventually go on my DT3. A previous owner installed a black high mount fender, and painted the rear to match, so I'll now be able to go back to the original silver fender color.








I bought a set of thermal flow shocks last time for the DT3, but for $10 I couldn't pass up having a spare set. The Supertrapp should work nice on one of my Yamaha 500 singles, and you can't have too many handlebars.


This is for an RT, the 360cc version of my DT3. It is a bike on my want list, so I'm all set if I find one with a bad tank. This one is just as clean on the inside as it is on the outside.


I'm eventually going to put spoke wheels on the '79 XS650 Special, and got the majority of what I'll need. The rear has a fairly nice shouldered rim, but the front has a drop center style steel wheel(Special II), so I'll get a matching shouldered rim for it.


I got a nice set of Yamaha 35mm forks, and a '73 TX650 fork and wheel. The TX hub will likely go on my SR500 (I got an XT spoke rear wheel for it at the March meet), and I'm going to look into using the caliper and rotor to convert to dual disc on the '75 XS650.


...and some stuff to hang in the shop.
