Quick update. john from Pearson Racing will have the 2 1075 cylinders ready this week. Just curious since it has been 20 years since I last assembled any motors. What is the oil of choice now? Back n the day I swore by Kendall GT1 the green stuff!I would appreciate your input on standard or synthetic. I will post pictures later in the week of the completed paint jobs.

You don't have to remove the chrome, but you need to rough the surface. Sand blasting will work for prep. I have been asking about that one myself.
If I knew what I was doing all the time life wouldn't be any fun.

Don't know about the header coating but wanted to say we will be in the same spaces in Ohio.

Fence 4,5,6,and seven. Jeff tries to get us moved up hill every year but they are great spots and i doubt we will move up.

Are you going to bring all the bikes? Roy
