Hey all: First post here, apologize for the lengthy content. Looking for some help on my Monza.

Long story short: I Got her up and running about a month and a half ago. A combination of faulty spark plugs (internally, had to take them apart to find out), and a bad ground turned out to be the culprits. Not before a backfire cost me my rear right turn signal. Bulb blew and rattled the housing. Got those taken care of over time, and now she runs great. Going to need new brakes soon (on the way) and new tires.
Oh, and before I forget, where would you take the gas tank to get dents/scratches fixed? I'd like to keep this bike in as great shape as possible.
I'd also like to improve the seat. As I understand it, the seat I have on there may or may not be the stock seat. I never got an answer on that from Dave R @ Moto International. I don't think he's sure. Regardless, I'd like to make it a little more comfortable. Starts to hurt my bum after an hour. Anybody done this or have recommendations?
So, a list of things she'll need, and I was hoping someone here would be able to tell me where I can locate the appropriate parts.
- New brakes (already ordered).
- New tires.
- New bulbs/bulb housing rear and front.
- Better seat.
- Fix dents/scratches on tank.
Also, as an aside, what cloths/soap/wax do you use to wash her down with? I don't want to ruin the paint. 8)
This past weekend up on Lummi island across the bay from Bellingham.
Cheers folks.
