Down to the bare frame - 08/22/2006

Engine ready for disassembly and
rebuilding

The steering head bearings were shot.

Parts ready for powder coating,
polishing and chroming

All the hardware ready for stripping
and zinc plating

Also, the front forks were pretty
trashed on the inside from water seepage.

Here's the engine all restored and
rebuilt.



Managed to get the old sticker off of
the side cover. This is the one that had the scratch
running through it. I had Reproduction Decals make a
new one.

Front wheel in the clamps and ready to
start the assembly process.

Swingarm and rear shocks in place


Remember how the speedometer was cloudy? Managed to
get it clear......bad picture. It now looks nice.

Center portion of engine now painted.............as
requested.

No matter what I did, I couldn't get the pin of the
helmet holder to come clean. May have to try to find a
new one or just leave it off the bike.


Ready for the engine..........frame protectors.

Slipped right in.




End of
End of the day.
Next day
Made some more progress............and some detail
pictures





his is the side cover with the new decal


This is all that's left to install.....................If
I could just get the forks together.
