Looking good Tom :good:
 
I put the forks back together with new seals and those "very special screws and washers" in the bottom. They must be special 'cause Honda had to order them and they weren't cheap! Now I'm gonna put fork oil in thru the air fitting, 'cause that beats taking the tops off again. Got my heads back from the machine shop putting in an insert where I broke a bolt off in the intake manifold mount. Thought it was a nice touch to have em bead blasted, but now I have to clean em up real good and paint them. That's not saving me much time! Put vinegar in the gas tank for the de-rusting process...hope this works.
 
I started up the 1500 wing and rode it slowly up and down the block a few times but after just having cataract surgery on my left eye Tuesday I don't want any issues with the eyes. I did put my helmet on to block the wind and debris that's blowing around

Looks Good. Like the color..
 
Spend the morning working :head bang: , the afternoon soldering the stator leads and timing the C5, and then Gerry showed up and no work got accomplished. Some times good company is better than getting a lot of work done.

Actually I did get the brand new Drag Specialties rider boards installed that I scored for $66 shipped thanks to zman's tip :salute:

Those look sweet, best thing is the chrome bottom plates look good when they are up, tough to find good chrome on these used.
