Hate to say but we're not exactly tripping over Can-Am parts in this neck of the woods. :mrgreen:

I suspect I may have better luck with the Ducati wheels. Luckily this project is going to take, ahem, a while...
You probably want to go into town, and find a up to date Jap Bike store,
With a full spares department, a clean workshop, and kean young mechanics.
And ask them if theres a Grumpy Old Bloke out in the Hills, who knows how to fix Real Motorcycles.

There's a couple of Can-Ams in the Norton scrap pile up the road. Too much snow to see what's there right now but I remember seeing at least four or five. Show me what you want and how much you want to pay and I might be able to purchase the parts from the scrap hoarding owner in a few weeks.

Anyone want to comment on this frame? I'm personally leery of the dented downtubes and the shoddy welding on the back engine mount.
