Wonder if I should have ground the casting flash off the front. Will probably mess things up if I try it now.

I noticed that (SUZI) also on my registration.Originally posted by Gregory View Post
It's a beautiful name - sexy and powerful. I'm going to go in the garage now and apologize to SUZI for not riding or starting her today.
Jeez - I've gone too long without sex and motorcycles!

Engine looks good, Chuck. Now remove each bolt, one at a time, clean the paint off of it, re-insert, and move on to the next one...

I have removed all the intake manifolds, removed the paint from them, cleaned off the bolts. I dont clean up the case bolts though. Leaving them painted protects them from rust and corrosion....and since this isnt intended to be a factory concourse resto its not that much of a relevant point.
NOW...NOW..If I could just lay paint the way you do ( or you get up and running again ) I would be all set. I gotta tell you that your stuff is sorely missed around here!!!MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

Enjoying the speedy progress also Chuck.Originally posted by JEJ View Post
I've only done one full teardown/rebuild so far and it was great. Can't wait to bring another one back to life someday soon.
The bike is looking good.Comment

No rain all next week and moderate temps so I will be able to pull the buffer machine outside and start the engine covers. Should have the engine back in the frame by the weekend.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

Got the covers all done, installed the clutch and got the clutch cover installed. Next will be install the stator into the cover, install the timing plate and get it all buttoned up. Should be stuffing the engine back in the frame this weekend.
Held the hammer up along side the clutch cover for effect.
