Out for a last ride on the Sprint before it goes back in the healing shed. New vacuum fuel tap, new fork seals and front brake strip and clean. Down to Meva and stopped in the market on the way back.
Back in the shed. To be fix d
My Dailey ride for the nexts few days. Certainly a contrast to the Sprint something like 100 kg’s lighter I think.
Did it myself. A combination of paint stripper and sanding with a high grit pad. It seems every pre 86 tank has corrosion perforations at the lowest points each side where the water collects and this one is no different. I was contemplating welding it up myself but thin aluminium is difficult and its 75% certain ill just blow through it so getting someone local bike shop to do it.
Well the Harley is partially stripped down now, exhaust system off, transmission and engine oil drained and cam cover off, cam tensioners look okay but I will probably replace the shoes while I have it apart.
She’s says so, but she is going through some stuff at the moment so I don’t really know. I will keep the bike around until her insurance runs out in October to give her every chance to change her mind.
