Looks good. How'd you strip, wire wheel?

Yes. The cup wheel works the best. I was not planning on stripping the whole frame but now it looks like I will have to - it would bother me not to

What are you doing to the head and is it ready to go on?

The head is what keeps me from moving forward. It needs new guides, valves, springs and retainers.

Most likely I will need to cut valve seats too to make them seal - means to get Neway cutters.

Looks like phenolic bushings in the swingarm, I will use old style bolt with zerks. To help the grease flow I drilled holes in the sleeve and also cut spiral groves to distribute the lubricant where it is needed the most.

Finally past the point of return, new valve guides.

Prehoned too.

I spent so much time striping the frame...

70CB750 · « **Reply #82 on:** October 03, 2013, 05:06:03 AM »

... just to paint over it again.

Swingarm bushings from Germany. Febay seller kenosha_kid. Purchased on 9/18, got it today, not bad.

The first idea how to press them in, looks like it's working.

I like it, $30 invested.

I've used threaded rod with waser to do that

Looking good!

Good idea on the pipe clamp, I have one, but wouldn't have thought to use it for that

70CB750 · « **Reply #88 on:** October 04, 2013, 06:45:17 AM »

Thank you.

For the peace of mind I had the sleeve holding bushings lined up while pressing, but I don't think it was necessary.

Now the next challenge, valve guides installing

70CB750 · « **Reply #89 on:** October 07, 2013, 04:12:38 AM »

I made an adapter to install guides without the heat and hammering.

70CB750 · « **Reply #90 on:** October 07, 2013, 04:15:05 AM »

It worked.

What primer and paint are you using for the frame?

70CB750 · « **Reply #92 on:** October 08, 2013, 10:36:16 AM »

Self etching primer and Majic Gloss black implement paint.

Looking good! What's next???

70CB750 · « **Reply #97 on:** October 09, 2013, 04:34:50 PM »

Next? Valves, after that likely Neway cutters, springs and retainers.

But now it looks like I have to invest in the jeep's windshield frame and glass and also blower motor for the house HVAC

It's gonna take a while.

My jeep needs a new windshield as well! Small crack though, but it's been there a couple years now haha.

I would not pass inspection with the windshield, due this month.
