Holy crap, took me a second to even realize what that was.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I feel better about my little nest of gremlins now.

Nice Roy, making progress as usual...

Inner switch housing, is it wet from you spraying it or was it like that ... ?

That is wet from WD40. I gave up on this one and removed the starter button and installed it in another I had.
The screws actually came out!

What's next? Roy

you have been busy....should be a nice bike

I am trying to do a decent job and I am running into problems each time I turn around. I have been working on wiring for a while.

The previous owner told me the bike sat under his carport for 10 years out of the weather and only one year in the weeds. I think he got that backward!

Would like to experiment by immersing the switch in "Evapo-Rust" and allowing it to soak and soak and . . .

Evapo-Rust is supposedly harmless to aluminum and other metals, attacking only the rust.

Good Fortune!

Another day at the office.

Well that didn't take you long.... Oops, missed paint on the rear caliper brake arm...

No I didn't miss it. I just didn't paint it.

I actually need one of the other style so I can use the lighter caliper. This caliper is off a 900LTD and weighs a ton. Roy

+1 on the Evaporust. Just did an old heat guard, moderate pitting and rust, took a couple of day but got ALL of the rust out.

Roy,

Any progress so far?

I did get off my dead Butt and worked on the bike today. After installing a Dyna ignition the bike fired right up. After changing carbs twice I found the jets I needed for pods. It is nice to hear a bike rumble. My bikes always rumble.

I am having to use a Mac header but I have a RC Engineering header and a set of shotgun pipes. I will try all of them out after cleaning them.

I am going to need a good gas tank with the badges.

I installed a 18" rear mag. It had a good tire.

I have to go out and swap out the rear rotor and install seat and headlight. Getting close. It is about time.

It is getting cooler here in the mornings and evenings so maybe I will enjoy riding. Missed the whole year. Roy

The Mark II rear disk had to be changed out. It was hitting the stay bar. Here is a picture of it with athe disk I used.
