Hello everyone. I am still alive, just been way too busy. :lol:
I have my bike just about down to where I want it. I was just going to send the head off to get the ex threads done but got carried away.
Now I am doing these things:
* Head needs ex threads done and I need help [see below for my help questions]
* Barrels are off and will be getting bored to +40.
* Gearbox going back to 4 speed and forward quadrant.
* Everything powder coated/stoved/chromed etc.
* Tank and side panels painted original blue/silver.
* Foot pegs back to original.
* Front muguard back to original.
* Bars will be original.
* seat will be original.
* Carbs to original.
Here are some questions I have:
1) My exhaust threads have already been repaired with the welded insert. [see photobelow] I am thinking I have to get the same repair done again [the weld rather than treaded inserts?]. I need to find a reliable source where I can send my head for this work :?: [Preferably in california or the US].
I would also like my barrels rebored/painted by the same shop that works on my head.
Where can i ship it all and get a good job done?
2) I cant get my swinging arm spindle out. What's the best way?
3) Where is a good place to get a decent paint job in California?
Thanks for the help.
