Kind of a slow day today in the bike restoration world. I'm waiting on a magneto cover gasket and the flywheel puller. They should be coming in the next couple of days, so I thought I'd try to tie up some loose ends....
The original petcock on the bike leaked, so I bought a replacement.
I thought about rebuilding the one on the bike, but this bike has been ridden hard and had a few shortcuts taken (one of the motor mounts was an english thread..... along with a couple of others). I decided since the cost of the new petcock and rebuild kit were around the same, I would just buy one.
The other thing checked off the list today was sticker removal....
Not hard at all. The WD40 and my wife's hair dryer made quick work of it. There are a few dings in the tank. I'm going to have to figure out how to get those out.
Another thing I'm not to sure about is that Suzuki sticker on the rear fender. it looks awful!! I'm not sure if the other sticker half peeled it off or what. Nothing sees to touch it as far as getting it off so......
I found some badges that were slightly bigger.
They're on order and should be here in a couple of weeks.....
