On Friday the new project rolled into the garage. My friend spied this several years ago in an old warehouse in Eagle River and we were just now able to get a hold of it and open it all up. The bike is complete and has not been fired for years... many years. So it was a bit of a crap shoot just to see whats inside. Upon teardown, which we completed this morning, I was pleased to find most of the major components in good shape. The only major surprise was when we pulled the gearbox drain and at least a quart of water emptied out finishing its drain with a nice brown orange slurry. The frame is going off this week to be blasted and powder coated and the barrels rebored (for the second time in its life). I foresee many... many hours of tearing down, picking apart, polishing, refinishing and reassembling in my future... many wonderful hours... me, grease, gas and coffee.
