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

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

            1979 XS1100SF (stock-euro mods planned)
            1984 XV700L Virago (to be hot-modded)
            1983 XJ750MK Midnight Maxim (semi-restored DD)
            1977 XS650D ( patiently awaiting resto)

            Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.

              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.

                            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
