Wow!! Your bike looks awesome!!
Thank you !
Thanks and yours is making good progress. Your tank came out great.
My 75 was put away properly every winter in NH and my friend that had it before me asked me years ago how to do long term storage. He had drained the gas out of the tank and carbs, fresh oil and filter. The bike was put in his dry basement that stayed above 50 degrees because of the furness and he kept the seat, tank and side covers upstairs in a spare bedroom covered, on top of the old bed. It was a fairly easy prep to get it running again after 12 years setting down there. Thankfully he kept it kicked over each year so a new battery, quick clean of the jets as the carbs had no build-up in them, flush and bleed the brake and I had it back on the road. On one of the first rides I got pulled over for cracking it open on a 40 mph twisty road. I went by him doing 60.... Thankfully he was in a good mood and understood my just getting it back on the road but reminded me it was a 40 mph road. I've been over the ton there in years past on my original 750s.
Keep up the good work.
This past 7 months I've been helping a friend bring back to life a 74 his father in law gave him. I had to strip it to the frame as there was a bunch of rust on the frame and bad engine paint from setting in a rat infested shed for 33 years.
It's going back together now. Just have to order some new seals as I pulled the engine covers off and polished them while the motor is out and will be replacing the rubber pucks in the head as they had been leaking.
