Who has the cleanest motor on the board?

[Guest]

Im getting ready to paint the motor on "Gabrielle" and was looking through the archive for other threads from members who have painted their motors. I was surprised to not find a thread dedicated to pictures of them so, here it is. Id like to see the cleanest/nicest Japanese air-cooled engines you've seen.

An example of a CLEAN motor:

This is going to lead to mass depression, and you know suicide is always high this time of year, I am not going to look, I am not going to look, I am not going to look, I am not.........


Mrs. Steve's 850L has to be right up there at the top.

Not me. I might have some of the the muddiest.

[Mindless]

Not me. I can live with a few paint scratches.

This is at the bike and scooter show in Perth, I rode it there in a thunder storm and then home .
Sorry about quality, taken on mobile phone

gettin on the "not me" bandwagon. PO sprayed the engine on my 400 when it was rebuilt. Looks ok but that was about five years ago and it has started to flake in spots (probabbly where he didnt prep properly).

It might not be the cleanest but for being untouched in 32 years I'd say it's pretty nice.

The other side.

The other side.

Thats very impressive Trev

I'd honestly have to say either one of Eds, Bruces, or Keiths. I keep my motors fairly clean but those guys take it to another level.

If we make a post for the dirtiest, I'm sure mine will be in top numbers along Bert's. Too many road miles, too little cleaning.

"Dirty Bike" thread?
I'm "All in"!!!
Riding them, does that to them BTW.
Although, quite a few forum members do have some fine looking show pieces.

you are being way too modest. It looks like you rolled it off the show room. it looks cleaner than my kitchen counter. I could eat off of ur motor.
