June (2006)
Finally tore complete bike down to
repaint, repolish, rebuild & tune.
Here is my factory 1986 LS crank
with needle bearing con-rod.
Markings are 13B 2.
|
Touched up the ports & redid the 2nd
gear mainshaft along with clutch work.
BTW... I prefer reworking factory
clutches since they can endure alot
more torture!!
|
Repolished everything!!
Removed "4" ribs from rear hub,
tapered then polished. Also removed
gold anodized color from silencer then
polished.
|
Upon rebuilding my rear hub, I found
stress cracks along "3" spokes which
is why I have different rims stripped
down. Could be from taking it on the
freeway & hitting potholes.
|
Got my Brooks Saddle last year and
need to chrome the undercarriage.
Also fabricated new upper fairing.
More to do!!
