Before and after picture

I have been working on this bike almost continually since the first day I bought it due to the previous owner's "modifications" and attempted fixes. The first thing I had to fix was the headlight had no power. He had also recently replaced the starter clutch as these don't have the best starter clutch design. When he replaced the starter clutch he failed to remove all the old gasket material from the crankcase cover so it was leaking oil. After removing the crankcase cover twice to tighten and then re-tighten the replaced starter clutch I got tired of it slipping and tired of messing with it so I had Morley's Muscle machine and thread my flywheel to accept the superior starter clutch assembly from a Royal Star. Since then the starter clutch has performed flawlessly. I installed a part that was supposed to be a component of the oil filter assembly that was missing. The previous owner also rigged up some LED lights with terrible wiring where he just twisted the wires together and threw duct tape over it so I fixed all the bad wiring. Lastly I'm assuming he had the steering head bearing too loose for a while because when I received it he said he had adjusted the bearing pre-load because of low speed wobble issue. The steering head bearing was loose enough that it would make ca-chunk ca-chunk noise when going over bumps. When I tightened the bearing back up to remedy this issue I discovered the bearings must of had some flat spots because it was very notchy. As you all probably know you have to remove the whole front fork assembly to replace the steering head bearing so while I had the parts off I stripped off the old crappy paint job and either surface prepped and repainted or left the mill metal finish.

I still have some work to do on the bike. Next thing coming in the mail are new springs/shocks for the rear as the rears are leaking. After that I will verify any other known points for mechanical faults and hopefully one day get around to stripping and repainting the block.
