Re:

Any updates on this?

Nothing new...very little time to work on retro bikes lately. I'm hoping to get back to this one once I finish an 88 Avalanche.

It is next!
I picked up a RS1 fork for it since I haven't found a rigid fillet brazed one yet.
It is missing the air valves, but I did source some new valves caps from Risse Racing. So hopefully that will get the fork functional.

One day short of a year How is this awesome Thunderbolt coming on?

It's coming along
I'm almost done the paint touch ups...just a bit more.
I'm not convinced the RS1 is the right fork for the bike, so I think I'll put a rigid Tange fork on for now. I have a Mag 20 with gold lowers that looks better than the RS1 but I need a 1" steerer tube for it.

I dont think the RS1 looks that bad, would look better if you lowered the stem though Having said that, that blue stem is beautiful, and as you have said already, its a shame it hasnt got the matching fork. You could always spray the Tange blue

Either way, its coming on nicely
