One thing needing tackled was the oil delivery line. I removed the line and sanded it down smooth to get the
30 year old grime off. I then painted it black and reinstalled it with the old bolts. They were looking rough, so I ordered
a new set of chrome ones from mikesxs. They should be here by the end of the week and I can post pictures of the difference.
Another thing needing attention was the carb holder bolts. They were all rusty from sitting for years. Some were
even a pain to remove from the amount of rust. I removed the carb boots that were on the bike originally and replaced them
with some carb boots of a little better appearance, not new, hoping I can still get my initial results from them. I will be
replacing the carb boots before everything is said and done regardless. I'm just directing funds in other directions.
I also have some more upgrades on the way for the front end. Some of which consist of a new front axle and new
rotor bolts. I'm also going to powder coat the wheels, install seat shocks, new tires, brakes and petcocks and things should
be good.
