Love the Maine Beer Co stuff- though I prefer lunch, dinner and Moe over Peeper.

Pretty much screwed up my paint job. Long story short- the stencil/masking template I had done up at the sign shop sucked.mi had bleed through and the adhesive on the back separated and remained on my parts. My mask job wasn't great either and I got some splatter and bleed through. When I pulled...

A big thanks to my brother who came up on his birthday to help me muscle in the motor back into the frame. We wrestled with it for a bit, thanks to the PO welding a few motor mounts in place, but we're ultimately successful despite needing a few touch ups on the frame and starter. I rewarded him...

Welp, got my carbs back from PJ and I couldn't be happier. Amazing what a good ultrasonic cleaning can do for them. Had to order some new carb boots/insulators because they were dry rot/cracked through.

I wish I could take credit for the prior beating. The PO used to ride the bike on fire roads for months at a time in Wyoming or Wisconsin, I can't remember. I'm beginning to realize this things was put through it's paces and Micky Mouse'd back together out in the back country. Somewhere along...

Thanks to all who for took a look at my mystery piece. With the help of folks here, it was identified as a piece that goes in the foot rest assembly. I just laid 10 coats of paint this afternoon on my side covers and tank. Need to let it cure before sanding and laying down some accent color and...

Thanks guys. I put my foot pegs together almost a year ago and knew I was missing something. Maybe I'll tackle that little project while paint dries today.

I apologize in advance for the same post in my build thread, but I am hoping it will be seen by more people here and that you all can help with an answer. I was putting together my kick starter last night, and this little piece was in the ziplock with the otherp pieces for the kick starter...

Z- do you still have these? Do you know if the long shield will fit a '75 cl360?

Here's some Friday night fun. What is this piece, and where does it belong? I had it in a ziplock with other parts for my kick starter. Looking at the parts fishe, I can't seem to identify it. Any ideas?

My mother in-law came to watch my daughter today so I took full advantage and got my motor painted in VHT wrinkle black. I'm pretty happy with the results, but here are a couple of spots (hard to reach/tough angles) that didn't wrinkle quite enough. I ended up using the whole can. I may just...

Thanks Doc. I guess it would make sense, since my motor is still out- I haven't had the chance to see if anything was missing related to that.

Mystery spacer/collar/part Last spring when I was disassembling my CL360 I came across this spacer/collar on the floor of the barn once I was done. As I've been reassembling, I can't seem to figure out where it goes. Any help would be appreciated.

Let's party

Nothing entirely new to report. I work at a prep school, and the kids all went home a week and a half ago. I'm doing the stay at home dad thing for the summer. It is near impossible to get anything done with a 4 month old around. Did some light sanding on the side covers and tank and they are...
