    Rustoleum spray job (pic)

    Well I just buttoned up the bike after a long 2 days of wrenching. Fixed the spark issues and rode her, but quickly found out I need a clutch. I think I might hear a knock but not sure yet. I will put her in the shop for clutch and check up this weekend. So for the mean time I figured a spray can job would suffice til I know she's good which then I'll break out the binks. Oh my, what a can of worms. It would of been easier to just d.a. it and shoot it. I know better now. Anyhow here's a look see;

    Conmgratulations on getting it running.

    Replacing clutch plates will not be too terrribly challenging project.

    Picture didnt look like too bad of paint. I would rather see a somewhat fadded stock paint than a repainted bike.

      Wow, a cafe fairing on a "L".

      Kind of like chopsticks on a poodle.

      Do the clutch yourself, the shop will just fvck it up. It probably just needs springs anyway.
      The shop won't tell you that.
      What are you painting? It looks pretty sharp, should rub out just fine?

      Life is too short to ride an L.

        Aww, gee Mr. Kahuna. Don't shoot her. It seems like she's just now starting to feel better! I would also strongly urge you to do all the work yourself. Unless you can find a mom-and-pop shop or a place with some old greasy geezer who likes working on these old bike, you won't want a kid mechanic working on a bike that's older than he is. It's a recipe for disaster, well, at least a recipe for inconvenience. But, depending on the shop, I have heard a few stories of successful repair by the "professionals" who work in bike shops.

        Your bike looks nice and it sounds like you're really getting a handle on working on your bike yourself. Don't stop now, it's just starting to get fun! \\/

        Please let us know if you need help and keep us informed.

        Thank you for your indulgence,
