Finished front fork seals

Finished front for seals. The manual make it seem easy to do but it was mistaken. It took all day but with some help from Carlos we were able to get it done. So I think I am done with all the stuff I am going to do, so I started putting the bike back together. I am cleaning and painting as I go. Here is a picture of the progress so far.

Front fork blown apart.

One more of new powder coat

Powder coated wheels (before/after)

Been Slacking on the blog

I have been slacking on keeping the blog up to date but I will try to catch up. Since last post I got the rims powder coated and new tire put one. While the wheels were off I went ahead and put in new bearing. Also went with a sliver powder coat on the wheels instead of the original black. I think it looks better. All the brakes have been redone and a new clutch slave cylinder installed. Replaced all light bulbs with new one and found out that the headlight using a car bulb (H2) so I was able to pick up a silver start bulb from autozone pretty cheap. It is a whole lot brighter than the stock one. I am waiting on the front fork seal which should be here tomorrow. After that all that will be left is to get the carbs sync'd up. I have been riding around the hood and everyone is looking like what the heck is that. I still don't have any body work on the bike so it look like something from mad max. I will try to keep the blog up from now on. later.

Took the bike for a ride.

Got the back brakes working so I figured what the heck, Let see if it still goes down the road. So I pushed it out of the garage and fired it up, put the seat on it and took off. Got to the end of the drive way and noticed it was hard to steer. Check the front tire and it only had 10 psi. Went back and aired up both tires and took it for a spin up and down the street. So it looks like I might be able to bring it back to life after all. Today I am in the process of taking the front and back tire off to get new tires and I am thinking about getting the wheel powder coated. If I do I will post so pic of the results. Stayed tuned.
