:) Hello, I have been an old bike guy for over40 years. I am 60 years old and still ride a 46 Indian I got when I was 18. I recently purchased a 1970 Lightning and though I have been a "wrench bender" as long as I can remember, I am new to British iron. It appears to have been taken apart for a repaint some years ago and never got back together. I got the bike running but it is missing several original small parts. Is this something I need to purchase new from suppliers or are good used original parts available here from members? Please forgive me if I am speaking out of turn or improperly. I just don't know how to get the ball rolling. Thanks in advance to all who respond. I am in the Dayton, Ohio area. Popeye

If I'm not wrong, your 1970 model was painted a shade of blue. Very pretty bike. What parts are you needing? If you look around, you can find a lot of the parts at swap meets, but you have to be patient. POst on here the parts you are looking for, and maybe someone can help you out.

Lots of stuff available on eBay. If you're not already a devotee, get on there.
Never met a motorcycle I didn't like.
