. hmmm let's see.. water pumps were pretty common.. some head gaskets .. new belts, of course .. older 1000's automatically got electronic ignition upgrades.. fork seals, a common fix.. new, cheap, tires.. I painted most of them.. I shot color out of a spray can, then used a 2 part urethane clear coat over it .. the paint held up well with the clear-coat on top.. did I mention going through the carbs !! .. that was always a bit of a pain, but then to listen to the engine fire up after years of sleep, made it worth while .. smoke galore to start with.. the last thing sellers did was to crank and crank a poorly running bike, trying to get it to run.. some over filled the oil.. that oil level window was hard to read on some bikes.. there I go, reminiscing .. it was fun.. days were filled with glory or heartbreak.. this was one of my favorites.. but then, many were my favorites, till the next one came along..
