Thanks for the welcome. Front tire is a bit newer and not quite ready for replacement. I did in fact address the chain issue. Ive given the whole bike a good once over. Brakes, cables, lights etc. I had a lot of trouble with the fuel tank. Nasty,nasty. I cleaned and rinsed several times. Gas, water, bearings, muriatic acid, more gas. Its as clean as I can get it. I installed an inline fuel filter and all is well so far. I also had a lot of rust on most of the chrome. Rims were the worst. Finest grade steel wool worked the best followed with some polish. Next thing I intend to do is switch to synthetic oil. Rotella 5w40. Then maybe needle shim mod.
