After taking the tank off, I noticed some frame rust where the tubes join the steering head. It appears to be surface rust only, but I need to address this sooner rather than later.
Being that the steering head bearings are also nearly half a century old, it's probably time to replace them. The next project will therefore be refurbishing everything from the steering head down: wheel, tire, tube, front brakes, fork rebuild, and eventually, headlight/instrument cluster.
