Nice work.

Was it just a thorough cleaning? Looks nice.

Your bike looks great, nice attention to detail !!!

My only small concern is the turnouts exiting onto your passengers feet, otherwise stellar job

[Rickrod3]

Much more than cleaning it was done a couple of years ago with the help of many of the guys here. Was looking the some old photo bucket photos and got a little nostalgic.

How did you get the engine so bright? Degreaser and a toothbrush? No really,...do tell. I just picked up a project that's in similar "before" condition. Thanks!

The engine was stuck when I got is so I had to disassemble the top end. While it was a part I put the head and cylinders in the dishwasher. Of course I did it when my wife was out shopping

I used a toothbrush also with simple Green and Ajax Dish soap.

I also used buffing kit you use with a drill. I got it at Home depot I believe it was made by Bosch.
Post some Pictures of your project.
As I had something apart I just polished it up before reinstalling.

Hey Rick,...I'm in North Jersey. Let me know when wifey is out again. I want to bring this over for your dishwasher.....

By the way, all these parts are for sale. If any locals want to come take a look. Too heavy to ship. About 80% of a motor.

If the Pick up coils were working I'd be interested in them.

Got a new dishwasher and won't chance that grief
