Hi everyone, I just joined up here, and wanted to say hello and get my feet wet. I'm jumping onto this forum looking for some help and ideas restoring a Murray Sonic Flite that, like many have, came out of my Grandmother's basement. This was my father's bike, and is complete, and in pretty decent shape, despite some minor rust pitting and some grime on the paint. I am not looking at this bike for collectors value ( I haven't seen it as a sought after bike 
) but rather to just have a cool retro ride to add to my current garage. I do have a few questions about the Logos/Decals/Paint job; The headlight; and the tail markers:
Here goes-
One of the main defects on the bike is the missing Murray lettering on the tank. Unlike the pinstriping on the bike, this seems to be all stickers... Any place to find replacements?? If not, I do some graphic design work, and I think I am going to make new ones... If it comes down to that, I'm gonna give the frame to a motorcycle shop for a new paint job, and then have stickers and striping redone to replicate the original look.
Headlight! Its a Delta Flight headlight with nice fins on it, mounted to the Fender, and has the lens still in it... If this is of Value, I may part this out, as I was going to gut it and build an LCD lens for it. Takers on the light?? Photos will follow in a day or so.
Tail Markers- These little reflectors are dying to be powered! Does anyone know of a site for building lights (LCD parts) to fit something like this? If not, I may part these out as well and replace them with motorcycle accent lights as well...
Lastly: Im looking to update the red saddle w/white trim to a similar looking modern construction saddle. I have looked at a few places, but red seems to be out of style. Is there anyplace you can recommend for me??
THanks for any help!!!
