Hey - I hope I didn't seem snarky. I didn't mean it that way. I appreciate the comments. So, thanks!
And wow. Nice bike. I see mine in there ... sort of. It's not stock paint, but that's OK. The paint on it is actually in really nice shape so that saves me a few grand $ on the rebuild. And the engine seems to run well. The speedo says 29k, but the speedo cable was broken when I bought it (ha ha). The engine leaks a little, so that's one of the goals of the rebuild. And I hope to God that I don't have to split the cases. That's well outside my comfort level! But I'm optimistic. My bike just needs a little TLC, so I'm going through it, piece by piece, replacing every gasket and anything rubber, cleaning everything, repacking or replacing all races and bearings and making her run safe and well. I'll get into the engine and inspect/replace whatever's needed. I don't plan on putting her back to stock, but she'll look sort of stock when I'm done. Here's what I started with:
