New all balls tapered steering head bearings. Really beats fumbling around with all those loose steel balls.

sandblasted and painted the lower triple and painted the steering crown nut black. I painted the fork ear collars black and sandblasted the fork ears and painted them silver. I am in the process of striping and polishing the top triple tree. I put the shocks and swingarm on so i can see it finally start to take shape. I also just finished painting the headlight bucket black but i do not have any pictures of that yet. thanks for looking everyone. appreciate the feedback.

Painting my cases, decided to only rebuild the top end And just replace all seals and gaskets I can get to without cracking the cases. So the cases were not disassembled for painting.

Decided to paint my tank, side covers, and cafe seat white. I am going to fill the emblem holes with fiberglass and instead run a modern honda decal on either side of the tank . Pics of the tank stickers
