            You're not wasting any time. I'd remove the paint and give it a coat of bondo since you did such a great job on the fab work though.

            What's next?

              indeed some finishing glaze is in order for a more finished look. You know how it goes...........

                I needed some color because i'm ready to paint the motor and needed a good visual on lines through out the bike. Looks like black on cylinder and head. Remove paint on edge of head fins only. Valve cover?????? The cases untouched may only clean them up a little may leave slightly dirty. Clutch cover, combo black base, cover untouched. Shifter cover combo black base, face polished and raised fins black or blood red. Valve cover black base face polished and black or blood red raised fins...............yea right!

                  What paint did you use for the rear final drive? Do you find that it holds up OK to chipping? Want to paint mine black as well but don't want to pay the premium for powder coating. I've found the VHT header paint has worked OK so far.

                    I used rustolium gloss black cut 50/50 mineral spirits and paint.
                    Goes on very thin doesn't run if you are careful, dries quick, can be buffed to high gloss, I did not buff this area, takes extra coats to get desired finish like 5-7 coats. If chipped mask off reapply no clear coat needed. Hope I did not open up a can of worms on paint I non't want to go there. I have used this on a Husqvarna dirt bike rims as well holds up well............. posting be scared.

                        Ok back to work. Been putting off tranny tear down and repair never been inside one myself. Here goes nothing!



                        ....and just like that, I hate it when I fear something so much and it turns out to be nothing



                        gears bagged and ready to be taking in to be undercut.
