JOES CAFE RACER Project

[joe.d]

Well I have this project, and the breakdown is underway, anyho, the GS750 had been siting for 4 years at least ,
I cleaned the carbs and luckily the bike had been drained of all fuel, becouse the guy who owned it before me decided to paint the tank Badly, anyhow there seems to a oil leak and it seems to be comming from exhaust port #1,
The guy put the Header on with NO exhaust gaskets. luckily he had only ridden up and down the road, and like I said the oil seems to be comming out of the exhaust port #1,
I guess this is a valve seal, this allso the side the bike leans to when on the side stand,
Im planning a Cafe Racer for this machine, definately Robinjo's 750 influenced my decision.
Ill takes some pictures of the progress, and I guess Im gonna mock the bike up before I rip in to the top end.
do you think I need to rip in to the top end or do you think I should run it for a while and see?

You know, that oil from the exhaust port may be water and combustion products. Take a really close look at this substance. A leak in the exhaust donut could if the bike is not truly warm, be the aforementioned water from combustion and carbon.
