Finished polishing valve covers, ordered some more parts I found needing attention while the bike is wide open on the floor. (Brian, clutch cable for me too!!)

I order two right away :music:

 

[mcgovern61]

Decided to "air out" my '81 engine........ :hihihi: :ahem:

 

[Houndheadjr]

:shock: Hey is it just me or what going 80 mph on a 34 year old bike :shock:

Gerry, that's pretty neat.
Did you really bolt it in to get that shot or is that some clever photo shop work?

 

[Joep]

Looks like he got some of that star trek transparent aluminum and highly polished it.... lol

 

[Steve83]

Gerry's been busy!

 

[brianinpa]

Cleaned/painted the radiator and then put the radiator back on. Cut the spark plug wires to length and installed the caps. Connected all those dang drain tubes and then checked everything over one last time and fired it up!

It is very clever work......I ERASED one side of the block, pistons and gears with my magic eraser! :smilie_happy:

It is actually bolted in. It is only the left side block.

"...checked everything over one last time and fired it up!"

Well...and...???!!! Teaser!

Edit- Doh! Just saw the video in your C5 Install thread. We knew you could do it! Way to go!

took the 85 Aspencade to car wash and soaped it down and scrubbed the chrome with a SOS pad. rinsed it off. wiped it off and rode it home. going to take off these running boards and heel and toe shifter and heel and toe brake pedal. my 28 in legs no good for that.
I need a stock brake pedal. anyone ? going to sell it anyway. but meanwhile like to ride it. any Albertans want a cheap Wing $2000 needs a out of province inspection, from New Brunswick.new frt tire last yr , and battery and oil today.

Went to Vegaswingnut's and we installed the new alternator dampers, the PO had only three sets in there and they were in backwards(George caught this). Runnin sweet again.

Got three complements all after work on Crystal. I guess I'm used to it now but two of the three people told me she looks like new. Once at home I took a fresh look at her and they are right, she does look brand spanking new. Not bad for $3,000.

:mrgreen:

~O~

 

[Steve83]

Sweet! Glad she's back up to 100%!

A big Thankyou to the Zman who pmd me with the details so that I could negotiate with the seller and get the deal done. Not as pretty as a Markland but 4 fewer bolts will hopefully suit the Rats Nest better.
:thanks: Jeff :good:

 

[Steve83]

Nice! You'll be flyin' up and down that driveway!

 

[joedrum]

that brace in for a test for sure LOL

 

[brianinpa]

In addition to everything else I did with the timing belt, valves, compression test, and synching the carbs, I also found some time to put a new Shinko sneaker on the back end.
