Should be getting the powder coated frame back sometime next week.
Meanwhile I'm rebuilding the points which originally came from a 1980 airhead and that had been installed by the former owner. I should also be getting a new timing rail, tensioner, and spring in by Saturday just in time to reinstall all the electrical and bolting the timing cover back on!
I did find some rust inside my tank but haven't fully inspected it yet to see where it's coming from. Looking through the fill port the liner seems intact but when I pulled the petcock out there was a bit of rusty sediment around the strainer hoses. I think some POR15 might do the trick to fix that. I'm also pushing the two small dings out and will find some touch up paint and then sand and re-clear coat it.
I sanded and then painted the headers with black VHT ceramic paint. Tomorrow I'll cure them in the oven and pick up some header tape. I still have to find suitable piping to replace the xovers.
I am considering sending out the heads to have the valves and seats reground for an unleaded conversion but would like to have some input from ya'll on it first.
Turns out it was cheaper for me to buy four new quality aftermarket turn signals than replacing the plastic OEM signal reflectors which lost all of their reflective paint. Opposed from the OEMs the aftermarkets are chrome coated metal rather than chrome coated plastic and look a bit like the signals from the early K bikes.
Lastly I ordered EBC rear brake shoes and a 40 bulb LED taillight replacement.
