I need to check on the chrome. I expect it should be ready soon.

Painted the wheel silver white this morning. Also sanded and primed the horn button as it had small rust pits.

I like the silver white better.

Vote for painting the wheel.

It was popping when revving. Sounded like a exhaust valve seat to me.

I’m sure a leak-down test would tell the tale.

Rear view mirror, antennae and mud guards installed.

I was able to slightly profile the gaskets and installed the dash handle.

OG glovebox was difficult to install. I was worried I would break it…luck was on my side.

Horn brush, and petcock

Question on the steering wheel. It’s painted ivory, the steering tube and turn signal switch are silver white. Is this correct?

That’s some other junk I was messing with today. Unusual.

Come-on! Let’s polish white lightening. It needs it. Looks like caca currently. You barely wash it! Could look like an og cream puff.

Plus you know jj wants to.

Has anybody seen one of these? What does it do? Maybe a bleed oriface to prevent heat soak flooding?

You’re in luck. It’s ready for tomorrow.

I assume you want a tune up, valve adj, and head torque?

I was gawking at the scenery…and dropped a wheel off a narrow/steep shoulder on a corner.  So dumb.

I could not recover and launched off a boulder, then came down sideways on the driver’s front wheel.

I agree, forget the oil leaks and let’s push this rig outside.
