Figured it out. It was my dumbassery. Right side intake valve was set to .006 LOL not sure how I managed that... It's a much quieter...

Drain magnets just had a thick goo of what I can only assume is microscopic steel from break in. Oil was clean but magnets had no large...

Been so busy with work I just found time to change the oil for the 2nd time. I didn't change filters at 500 mile break in change so this...

Did an oil change to see what the filters looked like and the silumo magnets had a grey build up of good stuck to both sides. Seems like...

I'm giving it an oil change after our ride. I'll let her cool down and check all of the above off the list. Maybe I will snug them up a...

I am pretty good on that front. It's right at the high mark. So far I've not had any issues with oil pissing out of the breathers but...

Did a valve adjustment and set my intakes to .003" and the exhaust to .006. usually this keeps them nice and quiet and happily working...

It is technically, but it's punched out to 1300. It JUST BARELY beats my XS in a drag race. They sound great side by side hauling ass.

Dad and I went for a ride to an area neither of us had ever been to. We didn't have navigation or headsets so we got lost A LOT. Turned...

Some action shots of the bike finally being painted and ridable. First rip of the season. Started right up and ran like a dream. A...

I'll do some reading for sure. The last thing I wanna do is screw up my final step and burn the outermost coating.

Guys... Holy shit! Clear coat really AMPLIFIES the look of a paint job. It's also going to show my mistakes. I've learned to live with...

Pm me please! If I get the stock rusty fender cleaned up fast enough I might just be able to paint it alongside the headlight bucket...

The headlight shell is for sure getting painted the same color. The previous prep work was too rough and didn't give a good bonding...

As for progress in my painting adventures, I'm using some scrap metal to practice my line work and finishing techniques for when it's...

That's not a bad idea at all. My original plan was to use the chrome fender as a brace as it's already there... But I think I can get...

If you like the idea of having a chrome fender for a future swap I'll likely use it to create a fiberglass mold of a custom front finder...

I'm not sure I love the chrome front fender. I got it from a different website than eBay for around the same price so it's likely the...

Thanks! I did the best I could with the time, resources and experience I have. I'll be needing to tape off my stripes to do some minor...

I took your advice and went to advance auto to grab some this morning. It was much easier to work with than sandpaper. It's spongier so...

I woke up early and got right to work prepping the white basecoat surface for a few coats of blue. I'm very happy with how everything...
