Pulled the clutch side cover to hopefully remedy the false neutral issue. Discovered a broken drum stopper shift arm. Opened up the clutch basket and was surprised to find everything in there looked great with plenty o' life left. Then I went ahead and ordered some new fuel line and clamps, a spark plug, a brake pedal spring, a rear brake rod spring, couple of screws for the clutch side case, a shift drum stopper arm, a drive chain, exhaust mount/shock nut, and exhaust donut/crush washer from the good Dr (except the chain, brake pedal spring, and exhaust mount nut which I bought on fleabay since the Doc was out).

Fabbed up a front fender using an old car license plate (the old one doesn't fit anymore thanks to the 3 inch shinko 244 I'm running up there now). Hooked up a toggle switch in the key hole location, because when I saved this bike from the scrap pile it didn't have one (along with many other electrical bits like the lights and coil (thank god it still had the harness and in useable shape)). Both temporary fixes until I can find better solutions.

Can't do too much else until my parts arrive. Might go finish hooking up the RS rectifier if some kind soul would point me in the direction of the diagram that shows what goes where on it (I know I've seen a diagram that shows the wiring in relation to the notched corner on the rectifier but I just can't seem to locate it again).
