This post is going to be mostly pictures, as my brain is mush from driving to Maryland and back, plus being out in the heat all day spraying, washing, and a good once over. Plus working on the Hurricane.
How she looked after being exhumed from her tomb, loaded in the van and taken back home.
Some shots of the rust and crust.
Baby needs a bath.
The cylinder studs will most likely need to be replaced, they're very rusty and a common weak point. If we're going down that route (and we should), we might as well take a peek at the crank shaft oil galley plug. That little silver sliver may be from it backing out and grinding away.
Gotta do belts, and valve service, so I'm probably just going to pull the engine and do it on the bench.
It's very surreal to have this motorcycle, yet it feels like, in some ways, it was always mine. Like I was just waiting for it to fall into place.
Stay safe out there.
Oh yeah, the Hurricane is running better. Not calling it fixed yet.
