Who has the cleanest motor on the board?

[Billy Ricks]

Im getting ready to paint the motor on "Gabrielle" and was looking through the archive for other threads from members who have painted their motors. I was surprised to not find a thread dedicated to pictures of them so, here it is. Id like to see the cleanest/nicest Japanese air-cooled engines you've seen.

An example of a CLEAN motor:

That would be doubleblue's bike, one of my favorites.

My 1000G used to look that clean. Then some wrench-monkey at the dealership un-crated it.

Sorry, I need to disqualify any motors that were silver and now painted black. Trevor and Bruce get my votes.

Geez Bruce, you missed getting mud on a couple of the carb bowls! Sure looks like you would have gotten a bit wet.

Does it count if the pic was taken in 1977? Didn't think so.

Please let us know how it works....it looks suspiciously similar to a Spinbrush sonic toothbrush, done in industrial yellow.

I used it today and it works great used it on my rims but it works awesome on hard to scrub parts on the engine where you can't get chubby fingers. $20. plus another $10 for more attachments. It was a rainy day here in Victoria so I spent the afternoon in my garage cleaning up the bike.

Considering that you actually ride your bike, and often . it looks like new! Hard to believe that it leaves the garage.

Thank you very much. I get almost as much out of cleaning my bike as I do out of riding it!
