[QUOTE="kerryb, post: 219855, member: 2980"] a quick look-over revealed a few issues to be addressed to make it roadworthy, and a few more to make it mine. 1. Strip off most of the accessories to lighten it up and clean up the look. the sharp-eyed already noticed the seat change. The custom seat it came with is too wide for me to reach the ground! Any tall guys looking for a custom seat? In addition to new timing belts and tires, I found these areas that need attention before launch. Right front brake seals, flush all fluids and check piston and pad condition. One fork seal leaking, replace both and inspect forks. New tires. Small oil leak under water pump weep hole, inspect water pump and check seals. gas leak under carb #4, runs good, so maybe just new bowl gaskets. 3-wire alternator fix is already done, but I'm not in favor of butt connectors so I may just do a solder splice to be sure. remember, it will live near the coast with salt air. The good news is that the rear master cylinder appears good, the linked brake lines are in good shape, and the paint work is clean and blemish free...too bad it's brown. The jury is still out on whether it needs head gaskets, the smoke from the left side might be from storing on the sidestand for 3 weeks, but a fill and check of the coolant reservoir revealed a drop in level when it cooled off...darn...seems premature at 69k miles.
