    One last post on this tangent: I like the disposable version of Tupperware for this kind of thing. (Glad, store brand, whatever cheap resealable tub.) They offer protection against spills and contamination, and you can stack them on the shelf to get them out of the way.

    How to get a "What's New" feed without the Vortex, and without permanently quitting the Vortex

      Finished painting the remainder of frame parts yesterday...today was break down engine day, degrease and paint cam cover and cam chain tensioner. Gotta get some Purple Power tomorrow and clean up the cases and get them painted. Wont be long till it starts the reassembly process. New cam chain supposed to be here next week. All parts will be cleaned and painted well in advance.













      Hemostats and sand paper to clean scale between fins on head. Lots of elbow grease to clean this pig up.

        I used a few of these last time I cleaned up a head. Worked pretty well, and cheap enough to be disposable. Ignore the price on these, many cheaper options if you shop around.

          Today i finished up cleaning and stripping cases to raw metal and then repainted them. First ones are in the raw and then some with paint. I use VHT UNIVERSAL ALUMINUM, part number SP127. It looks amazing.










          Painted parts.

            Dave needs his engine overhauled, but he's not the type to get that deep into an engine.
            Maybe you or somebody here can do the overhaul?

                I have no idea, however there are engine shipping specialists.
                Redman's been talking about how much oil he burns for years. Just like to get him motivated on fixing that.

                    Nice to see another restoration thread. You do more and more with every bike I see you do, Chuck. Great work so far. Some of the pictures (painted engine parts) don't show up on my computer, though. Not sure if anyone else is having that problem or not.

                          Can’t wait to see what it looks like finished. Where would you recommend getting a service manual from? My gs850 has a 12/79 date on the frame. I’d like to do a quality restoration also.

                              Today was put new seals in the tach cable drive and assemble the engine. Still waiting on rings. Plan is to set the cylinders and then stuff it in the frame. put head on last. By putting the lower in first and the head last i gain room at the front of the frame and have less chance of gouging the frame paint.
