Use Rusteco for the interior of the tank. It sure did fix my rusty Hodaka tank!

Looks like a cool resto to be done there.
I have never heard of a Difazio 90S before. Is that some kind of leading link front end?

Cheers

Looks like a very unique bike, good luck with the resto.

Yes, there were some pretty grotesque fairing (and bodywork) designs in the seventies. One reason why BMW's r100 RS looked so good when it first came out I guess.

Interesting story of yours H. Are you going to be riding it when restored?
