Well, I got the bike back today. All I can say is “outstanding.” It runs like it’s new. It rides like a 36 year old bike should ride. I love it.
So, back to the restoration, to the left is the right side cover after about three or four rounds of filling and sanding. Looks beautiful, right?
I have to say…I’m pretty pleased with how this is turning out. Here is the side cover after the second round of primer. As you can see, I did cut the remaining vertical bars out and just make it an open vent. I have to argue that it’s almost looking like a professional job. That’s important to me because it will hopefully set the stage for the rest of the bike’s restoration….I tend to lose steam and start settling for “good enough.”
Finally, here is the left side cover as-is. It’s intact and just has some scrapes that will need to be filled.
