Thanks for the positive comments guys.
When I started taking apart the bike I put all the hardware in baggies and labeled everything. That lasted about one day. After getting going on the plating everything came out of the baggies anyway and dumped in a box. It's going to be a jigsaw puzzle figuring out where all that hardware came from. With hindsight, should have measured each bolts as it was removed and kept a log. Oh well.Ed

Okay cool, good info. Thanks for the heads up. This bike has increased my awareness of the differences between Suzuki and Kawasaki. Overall I think Kawasaki's service info is slightly better.Originally posted by SVSooke View PostEd

Working on the gauges. Condensation behind the glass and corrosion on the outside bezel. Gently pried off the sealing ring and took the units apart. Going to bead blast the housing and repaint next.

Also cleaned up and clear coated the fork sliders and footpeg brackets. The brackets had a good bit of corrosion on them so I wasn't able to remove the pitting. Bead blasted off the corrosion and rubbed them down with gray scotchbrite before shooting the clear. They look decent but wouldn't mind finding a better set. Later...
