Yes, I still have my Bridgestone. Although I've been considering selling it to fit another bike into the garage. 1. Where to get parts? The internet! 2. There's a list some where in this forum that will tell you the build date based on the numbers you have.

It appears that your bike is a 90 mountain which is a nice model, don't see many of them. Richard the owner of this site should have a lot of the parts you will need. Good luck with the project.

Welcome to the group! The number is missing a digit should have six. It's probably April 1966. Here's a link to the thread with that info:

It does look like the Mountain, with a low exhaust. Most of them have the high pipe. Good luck with the project! Ask lots of questions, very good people here willing to help. Steve

Hi Mick, tried to PM but "inbox is full" so message wouldn't send.
I was thinking if I put it on ebay starting at $700 with a buy it now of $900.
It's a runner. The only non original bit is the seat. I've got the rubber side covers for the tank. Plus a few bits and pieces I got from the internet.
I've got the import papers & the original paperwork from when it was bought by Mr John W Slivinski of St Louis Missouiri for US$100.00 on 12Nov1966.
He owned it for 48 years, then, on 08Jan2014 he sold it to The Australian Motorcycle Museum who imported it to Australia and they sold it to me.
there's also a bridgestone group on facebook.
