It's time to take a break from the Hurricane project and spend some time on the rest of the herd. XS2 is first up. When I started this project my goal was to get it running again. Dependable daily driver kind of thing. I think I accomplished that. Made a 1700 smile trip with it. Trouble is it does not have the original motor in it. Also it needs a good cleaning. Much easier to do if apart. Last summer I went through the original motor. Split the cases, had the crack in the case welded, rebuilt the top end and cleaned it up. Time to put her in and get it running. Plus there's a few other thing I want to do to. My good friend and riding buddy thinks I'm crazy to take out a perfectly good running engine and replace it with one that's basically the same. It makes sense to me. I want my original engine to run again. Plus I'll have a proven spare. ( I have the matching numbers frame with title for it. Future project?)
I have a week before I have to go to work for a week so I'll see what I can get done to her.
