    Three things, don't ride it with those tires, they may not be safe, be sure to change the brake fluid, it's already a little past due, & remember, The red & white Cooleys were illegal in the U.S., be sure to check with DVM, just to be sure it'll be OK now. I can only imagine what is going to be. Get to it, we'll be waiting

      You're crazy. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this brake fluid.

          I’m actually bragging about that single front disc.

          My “T” has single front disc too!

            Rims are spoken for. Anyone want the fairing before it goes to the dumpster? All items are free just pay the shipping. AS OF NOW these are the only things that im certain i wont keep. If i find anything else i will post it.

              So other than the mag rim swap dilema, i got to work on seeing if i could get the engine unstuck. Took head off and found this in cylinder 4. Thats water setting there on top. Took a picture of cylinder 1 but i got FILE ERROR when i was uploading pics. That jug was completely filled with white scale that looked like cottage cheese. Got the propane torch out and heated each piston real good and shot PB Blaster in and proceeded to smack the tops of the pistons with a hammer and block of wood. Took 6 or 7 good whacks and she was loose. Then it took an hour going up and down on the studs gradually breaking crud loose till finally the jugs were off.

              I was really happy to see the head, cams, buckets, shims, and journals look as good as day one. Bottom end looks pristine from what i can see looking in from around the con rods. Im really hoping that hen i pull the oil drain plug i dont see gallons of water first. If that goes well then maybe all ill need for this engines top end rebuild. If it goes bad then its drag my spare engine out and rehab that one. I know for a fact its a solid runner.

              I will need to source a good set of jugs......liners are trashed.

                  Red & white S's were illegal in the U.S.? Is that because of different emissions or something..? Why would a color scheme be illegal? Just curious. I almost painted mine red when I was doing it, if for no other reason then being rare compared to blue ones.
