      Yeah its looking pretty good...and thats saying a lot from me too. I am not a Cafe kinda guy, but that looks thought thru and done with taste..not too little but yet not too, much either..nice middle ground build.

        Dale..I was at the storage unit today to get the starter and the valve cover and I looked at the old head gasket. there are witness marks in it from the sleeves as well.


        As for todays wrenching...I got the starter painted today and the new stainless steel intake valves arrived. So now Sunday afternoon will be refresh the seats and get the top end reassembled. She is comming along pretty nicely.
        Still need to polish the cover, but thats just cosmetics at this point of the game.

          Cold and raining. I still have the lower end to paint ut the weather and humidity arent condusive to do it. I still have the lower end to paint, cut the valve seats, install the new valves and get the top end reassebled. Then I can slip the jugs back on and the head and get it all tirqued down. Set the cams and get the engine back in the frame. She is close to being refreshed but not quite there.

          I gotta take the shocks apart and soak them in some Prep And Etch to get the rust dissolved and they will be what they are after that point. The springs are the worst part and I havent looked into anythiung as replacements yet.

            Sunny and 70 today, so I suspect the storage unit will heat up well past 70. Got up and went over and painted the lower end. Should be well cured by the time I get the jugs and everything is reset.

              Went to my buddy Randys shop this afternoon and he schooled me on cutting valve seats and now I have another skill in the file cabinet to use. Went to the specs as posted in the factory service manual. Washed the head real good and its drying overnight so I can paint and bake it tomorrow afternoon. It wasnt as complicated as i thought.

                  Chuck,
                  You are doing a fantastic job on that bike. Makes me wish I had kept my old '76 Yamaha 650. Lots of torque, tons of vibration. Ballsy!

                    Well seeing that its all original and probably one of the few remaining actual road worthy ones..I think she is worth the effort. I have been to A LOT of bike events and shows and havent ever seen one there. I wouldnt venture to guess an actual number left still running, but it cant be that many. I will post a few more pics in a moment..realised I didnt take any side pics of the cleaned up head.

                      Sand blasted head

                      randy uses a media called sugar sand..very very fine and leaves a silky smooth surface. Pardon the finger prints all over it!!!

                        As long as I have been interested in bikes, I can't ever recall seeing even one of them.

                          Hit a bit of a snag, but got it sorted.

                          I was setting the cam chain guide in the jugs and checking the bolts out and couldnt get them to start. seems when i blew the holes after the sand blasting some was stuck...which mixed with some paint that over sprayed. Took a small pair of scissors and had to chip the gunk from the tops of the holes to start the bolts.

                          I then ran the bolts in a little and blew more air..repeated the process till the bolts all bottomed out and were easy to turn. I then ran more air in the head holes and made well sure they were clean also.

                            Talked to Eric Bang on the phone and got some good suggestions from him as well. My next trick would have been to go buy a tap and chase the holes per Dales suggestion.

                              Got the head painted this morning.. need a new bolt that will need to be ordered from Fastenal. It hs some chipped threads and will be a problem with reuse so I will replace it.
