I finished tearing down my V65 this past weekend. Pulled the motor out of the frame and disassembled the front fork. I am now on my way to getting this rebuild under way in a big way. I started looking at media blasting/stripping services that also powder coat as well as just stripping services since I may send the parts to local powder coater. I have finally decided not to restore to original but to give some minor custom touches, like colors and less chrome. The basic look will still be the same since I want to run it at Bonneville in a stock or minimal modification class. I'm even kind of up in the air on such little things as frame color.
I think I will give a photo to one of the designers at work and ask them to work up c color scheme. I will be starting the transmission work on my spare motor in the next week or so or as soon as I get a heater for my garage so I can work most of the winter. The weather service is predicting a mild winter and that's good for bike rebuilding in the mid west.
Well I'm glad to be back writing this blog and have decided to put time into topics.
