All the rear end parts are cleaned and polished/painted.   Need everything to dry and then I’ll reassemble.  Pulled the plugs again and gave it a little mystery oil, with the plugs out it spin freely (and mystery oil shot 10 feet down the driveway!).

Busy summer Of work and riding the GS has kept me busy, but the Rust to Riches story continues

Next up is putting the new chain on and finishing the front master cylinder rebuild.
