Well, I finally got the head light all completed... Minus the wiring of course...

Same as tank Dupli-Color spray can gloss black with 2 part clear coat. Wet sand in between paint and clear coats with 1 week flash/cure time. Then wet sand clear coat and buff out with rubbing compound.

You'll also note an addition where I replaced the front brake distribution and brake switch... I found a new item at JP cycles where the switch is in the banjo bolt that is attached to the master cylinder....

"How did u cut out the letters in the alum plate? "

Drill/dremel, hack saw blade and small files (flat and round)... No joke, this is how I did it! ;)

Nothing special here... just a pre-head image set before sending off to Larry Cavanaugh...

New gaskets off course, Liska/APE top idler & spacer blocks, APE heavy duty valve springs, APE VGK900 valve guides & seals, APE ACS900K adjustable Cam sprockets.

WebCam .365 Cams.

Cavanaughs:
KZ Head - Street Port With Valve Job - 15% Avg. flow gain. Very Nice performance boost for street and touring type riding with 28 - 31mm Carburetor sizes & Drop In Cams.

3 angle valve job
- Reface your valves or install new stock size valves
- Replace guides.
- Resurface
- Suggested motor size 900cc - 1075cc.
- Suggested cam lift .365" Web Cams #118 Grind Suggested.

And yes, I buffed the valve cover... I'm hooked on that buff crapola now damn it. :blink:

Plummen, you're a mean evil bastard you are... hahahahaha.
Yeah I know due to the heat and such but it just had to be done for it truly looked like crap. Probably end up painting it but for the time being... looks good now.... :laugh:

Getting there JohnLA... Still have some minor stuff I have to get back on the bike but once the heads are completed the progression will really take off....

In the mean time, still have the wiring harness, electrical terminations, light & tail light terminations, I need to re-build the front master cylinder for it still feels mushy, hunt down and paint a front fender etc...

Almost there... :woohoo:
