What precautions should be taken before bead blasting the cases and cylinders or is this even advisable? There is quite a bit of corrosion on them. The covers will be polished as several threads have suggested. Thanks for any info.

Very advisable, it is the best way to get them truly clean. Plus I like the factory race bike look of the raw aluminum finish...What precautions should be taken before bead blasting the cases and cylinders or is this even advisable?
Things to do:
1) Mask all areas you don't want blasted (gasket surfaces and similar) with duct tape.
2) Plug all holes with rag stuffed in and tape over. The blasting media will still get in (it is truly amazing how well it gets into nooks and crannies), but you want to be a FANATIC about sealing things up to minimize the clean up after.
3) After blasting, you need to clean out all of the media that got in, washing with soap and water is a good start. Chase all tapped holes to clear them and repeatedly inspect things for leftover media.
