Mate, I need more info/pics on this. Looks great.

Sorry, dad. I did just start it up last weekend and tool around the new neighborhood, so at least there's that.

First moto purchase since the move and new baby. Needs some love (and a smaller rear sprocket LOL).

Looks great man. What did they use for paint?

Last I checked you were supposed to find me some sweet mags!

Just run it, copper is soft I'm sure the transmission gears will grind it into a dust no problem ;D

I'll second that.

Badass. I find that using a 5 sided box is kind of a pain because you have to shuffle around the parts halfway through powdering. Which inevitably results in some powder getting brushed off. Need some turntables.

After having the same bike for a couple years (also for my wife to learn on), I can confidently say that mechanical disc front brake is garbage. If I had seen this before you tracked down the apparently hard to find parts, I'd have tried to convince you to just swap it out for a drum or a better...

If you have the means to blast the whole thing, you will get good results. Personally I don't have a blast cabinet that can fit a frame so I opt to spot blast rust and leave original paint, scuff and paint over. It really doesn't make much of a difference as long as your surface has some tooth...

Bump. Take this crap off my hands guys, I don't want to trash it.

Not sure why this is so hard. If you blast something, are you really going to leave paint on it? If you have rust, blast it off down to clean metal. If there's paint there, scuff it up.

Depends. I've done it before it just makes a mess. Sometimes if its a cover that will be removed for maintenance I'll use hondabond on the cover side and oil/grease on the crankcase side so it sticks to the cover rather than the crankcase. All personal preference

I'll usually just wet em down with oil and install. I'll use a thin coat of sealant only if I know its something that leaked previously.
