Parting a wrecked '91
Today I had a short day due to a morning meeting. I refinished the three calipers (honed and repainted with some red caliper paint). I think I lunched the pistons taking them out, so I'm definitely going to have more in the brakes than the bike cost. I went through the exhaust clamps with a tap to clean the threads and painted them with high temp aluminum paint. Last night I ordered a bunch of OEM parts to include carb & caliper seal kits and other wear items. I've also ordered some used stuff off eBay such as the left side cover, a horn, and both bar switches and a new set of decals for the shelter.
I've also got a 45L trunk on the way and a 12x10 aluminum plate to mount it. I shot some pics today and will update here later. The last stuff I ordered were some metric socket bolts to replace some of the hex bolts on the bike. With a few days of tolerable weather and some more stuff I can make some good headway. I've also tentatively decided on gloss white for the fender, shelter, side covers, and tail section with gloss black for the fairing, trunk, and wheels. I have two vehicles from the 90's with this paint scheme, so it will fit right in and allow for some distinction.
