I road the bike 20 miles stock then ripped it apart. Haven't had a chance to feel the set up.

I just really like the look of that triple tree. Very clean look. I plan to add a acewell single gauge. Plus if I didn't like the clip ons I would use oe triple and mount the drag bar.

The head gasket appeared to have a small leak and I had planned to just leave it alone and ride but after all the effort I couldn't leave it knowing it was perfect

a little WD-40 and brush removed most of the carbon.

Cylinder walls looked very clean. No scratches.

I've never taken apart a motor before. Ive changed head gaskets and cams on an evo i had but for some reason i was nervous to take apart this motor. Just downloaded manual and went for it. If you see something off please let me know thanks!

So I've purchased the z1 enterprise gasket set, 3 bond liquid gasket, chain stuff and the nut covers.

I've looked all over and have seen a bunch of stuff but I am unsure if I should
Use the liquid bond on the head and lower gasket? I've seen some spray copper and others use liquid bond but the liquid bond says not to use it on the head gasket. Should I use anything?

Picked all my parts from powder coating at lunch today. Loaded into car but I brought a caliper in to stare at until I get off.

Everything powder coated. Originally wanted the tank and seat to be burnt red but got the powder coater to do this color combo since it didn't cost much to spray tank and seat and I can always paint over powder.

Still waiting on bolts to come back from zinc plating so I started to look at the wiring harness.
