      • Let's see...I took off the rear fairings, they got cut on, sanded, primed, and the first coat of paint. Tomorrow I will put another coat of paint on them, put a clear coat on them and start on the rest of plastics. I will update and have pics.
        Finally Got To Start My Project!!!!

            • Took the front end apart only to discover my lack of sockets for ignition removal. Replaced my o-rings under my main jets. Drilled out the factory plugs over the A/F screws.

              Tried really hard not to cry when I saw that the rest of this week will be in the upper 70's, only mostly succeeded. Figures that as soon as I break my bike down into tiny pieces for some powder coating and carb cleaning mother nature would let off the cold weather crap and make it perfect outside.

                I feel your pain. We're suppose to hit the 80s this week, I mean come on this is Iowa in March. Not suppose to happen

                      • Just finished disassembling the carbs far enough to clean them up.

                        The bike has sat outside for 2 years before I got it, which was nearly 4 months ago... the PO must've drained the carbs, because the first 3 were clean. #4 has some oxidation, presumably from condensate.

                        I'm gonna steam clean the bodies, spray them flat black, and candy blue on the bowls and diaphragm covers.

                          • Installed the wheel bearings in the R1 rims, got the sprocket/rotors bolted up, and had the new tires installed and balanced. Let the suspension swap on the Canadian 82 begin!

                            • Installed the Ex500 windscreen and mounted the new Shinko 009 Ravens
