Thank you @5twins.

I noticed this on my right side case last night. Down where the tach cable comes out it looks like a weld to fill a hole was made. Also it looks like another is on the bottom in the same area. Is this normal? Should I try and find another case?

Thanks @gggGary

Hi, Is this the normal wire routing for the rear blinker? Noticed it sticks out a bit with the seat on.

Thanks guys.

Ok, I think got it. My bike had brass washers on it when I bought it. What I'm seeing is the remnants of some rubber washers that were on it prior to the brass washers being installed?

Pulling the top end off I noticed these trashed plastic seals on the stud bolts. Couldn’t find them in the parts fiche and didn’t see them used in a couple built videos I watched. Anyone have a source or part number for them?

Thanks @5twins. Two more valve springs to pull and the top end is ready for a long overdue cleaning and refresh.

Thanks Jim.

Hi, I don't want to create a build thread because I don't know what I'm building or doing for that matter, might start that once I get to the assembly part. In the meantime I figure it's better to just put all my noob questions in one thread vice popping them out there whack a mole style...

I pulled the head off and looking to get any input from on what you all think. I see the ware marks from the cam but they feel smooth, no flat spots that I can feel. What do you think, see any problem?

This is probably one that hasn’t seen oil the 30 years. In fact I think it is the only place oil isn’t leaking into or out of on the bike.

Thank you @5twins, Excellent right up and pics. Wish the manual was as thorough. Mine was rusted on but, I think I got it off with out damage to the pins.

Thanks, will PM you tonight.

Thanks. I’ll skip the washers and get the clips from Mikesxs. It was very dry and a little rusty in there so I’ll add little lube when I reassemble.
