Spares: Unboxing Party

Haven't been in the garage for more than a month (life got in the way).

Unboxed the Early style airbox and intake.  Realized it's missing the right side cover and now I see why it's classified as unobtanium.

Unboxed another alt cover, this one to meant replace the "polished" one that seemed to nice to leave on the bike for now.

Unboxed Extra Sprocket Cover #2.

And finally, unboxed the old rusty cylinder meant to use for practicing honing.  But also discovered that the 51mm flex hone was a very tight fit in the 50mm standard cylinder.  You must have to really squeeze it in tight?  Guess we'll see....

Spares: Cleaning

The sprocket cover cleaned up nicely.

Red: Plastic Chain Guard

Didn't actually realize this was plastic until I got it, but it's perfect as a "weight saver" on the cafe bike.  Now the plastic battery cover actually makes sense, too.

Spare: Sprocket Cover #3

First extra sprocket cover and third one overall.  Needs a good cleaning.

Spares: Battery Cover #2

Second cover (from the same eBay seller) got de-rusted and primed.

Spares: Battery Cover #1 Primed

Left the battery cover in Evapo-rust for 5 days (mainly because I forgot about it).  When I took it out, not only was the rust gone, but a lot of the paint just flaked off as well.  Left me with a good clean surface that I just lightly sanded, then primed.  Came out pretty well...  Would it sell for $80?

Red: Sprocket Cover

Scored a $30 sprocket cover for Red.  Sweet.

While she was out, took a fresh look at her with the white tank, flat brat seat, and no rear fender.

Red: Plastic Battery Cover

Unboxed the new plastic battery cover today.  Wasn't thin plastic like I was expecting, but a chunky piece of thick material.  Made by a guy in New England who sells them on his site for $45 (got mine on eBay for just $26).
