Topic: Couldn't resist!

I picked up another today, this time a 750k8 with 24k on the clock. Basket case with title for 3 Bills, no seat, no tank.

I needed an excuse to hang out here more often anyway.

The kid even threw in a beer coaster!

 Awww - We wanted a pic of the bike.I see a title, that's a good thing !

Awww - We wanted a pic of the bike.I see a title, that's a good thing !

As I was getting back home there were some spectacular lightning strikes and the weather report said tornado warnings were in effect for a few more hours so I left it all loaded in the van overnight.
I'll get some photos later on after unloading and see what a closer inspection reveals. I'm dreading this part.

Ok, another project, subscribed.

If you are still out of Tequila, better go out and buy a bottle or two!!



I need to pick up another box of Don Julio, polished mine off!

[Alan F.]

I'll bet that was good to the last drop Steve.

Got it all unloaded, I'm not too happy so far but it could be worse. I guess I should start a build thread.

I could use some advice, but I probably know the answer already.

Did it "run when parked" ?  Looks like someone got hot and heavy in a project then quit maybe.

[Alan F.]

Yup, from what I can tell someone did a top end rebuild with non-stock pistons of some sort, bore and compression unknown but I think the cam is stock.

Unfortunately the PO liberally used some sort of blue sealer on the base and head gaskets.

[MauiK3]

If you see sealer be concerned about where it oozed on the inside.

I tend to agree but want to hear it from members with lots of engine building under their belts.

Thanks!
