Really good pics, glad you got the hang of it.
Your resto looks pretty comprehensive, and your motor looks great after being painted.
Too bad that you're in the middle of riding season, but it's going to look great when you're done!

Hello gang, Thanks for the greetings.
I was actually riding it the other week. The left head gasket and/or o ring started leaking oil down the front of the engine. I had oil on my shin and shoe of course. I figured it was probably getting to the rear tire also. I think that that could get exciting. Bought the gaskets and pulled the engine out. taped and sealed it up with rubber expansion plugs at the in and out ports and threw it in the sand blaster at work. Now its clean:side: :cheer: :P

Hey Calhoun, Welcome to KZR. you will find lots of info on your bike here.

It looks like I'm going through the same thing as you right now. Good luck with yours. You should make a post in the engine forum about what your doing? You would probably get a lot of responses.
