I started out to just clean & paint my motor, install a set of rechromed pipes, and do a tune up.
That was three weeks ago, I am still sanding parts, ordering stainless steel bolts and SHCSs, spent half an hour today talking to a powder coater for an assortment of parts I have scattered around the garage...
I have a set of case covers I have tried three different paint, clear coats, sand & polish, processes on.
I have a new parts cleaner and samples of 150 dollar a quart buffing compound to try.
Even made a side trip to a local bike part joint to see if they had clutch springs because as long as I have it this far apart might as well fix the chatter problem I had in the mountains this summer. The f'n internet said they where a stocking Barnett shop, well three clutch kits is not much stock, but I digress.
I want to ride again, so the thought of a second motorcycle is "cycling" into my daydreams as I sand and paint, sand and polish, stack parts, sort into piles; I'm thinking a brand new something, so on my travels I visit every cycle store within a "few" minute drive of my destination.
But a new bike will eat up time I need to make this a great classic Honda, even though it was sweet before I started, it was just was in need of some pipes that did not have 5 inch long rust holes on the bottom; a few hours of work, including re-balancing the carbs.
a few more weeks, a few more weeks.
