I am honored! Here i was excited to find your thread with another 80 "L" getting some lovin!
+1 on the oversized drain plug from the auto-parts store, easy to find, mine was only in by two threads, all the rest were stripped by the PO (previous owner). wound up going with a 2 over to get a good bite and slowly installed it, backing off a couple times using it like a tap.
And also on laying the engine on it's side and lowering the frame on it when re-installing, much more controlled.
You made a lot of progress, keep it up... I'm eager for more,

There are literally 100 pans on ebay.
I dont agree with the "tap it with a bigger bolt" advice. At all.
Sure, it probably works fine. Sure, sounds easy. Sure, it's really cheap.
Or you could just do it right.
PLUS you can polish your new pan! Haha

Haha thanks scrum. Yeah punk, thanks for taking a look! Either way doesnt sound so bad to me. I'll definitely check eBay, there's tons of good stuff! Ha not sure about trying to keep that pan polished, tho!

Since the pan is off anyway, might as well do the oil pressure mod on the relief valve. Give me a sec here and I will add the link to it.

Here is the info: by the oil pump there should be a screw in valve, Part 23 in this fiche
http://www.boulevardsuzuki.com/fich...y=Motorcycles&make=SUZUKI&year=1980&fveh=2135
The conversation below is about what to do to increase pressure on the spring in the valve so it doesn't open as soon, keeping oil pressure up in the system. This is to minimize the problem these motors had with wearing out exhaust cams prematurely.
Hey there, i found this post in another thread. So do you replace the original little cup that is up against the circlip with two 6mm washers, or add them to the original? Can you put the washers between the original washer and the circlip? Last question, do they have to be wave washers or can they be plain ole flat washers?[/QUOTE]
Add additional washers to the stack...I'd imagine the first guy to try it just used what he had to hand and when it worked the spring washers became what to use. I estimate the 2 spring washers are around 3mm thick in total. Whatever you use as a spacer should have a hole in the center for free oil drainage.
Good luck
Greg

Thats awesome! Thanks for the tip. While not the easiest, I definitely think I'll look into swapping the pan. This site is awesome! Thanks everyone!
No new pics tonight. Started shiftwork up again. Tonights work consisted of a couple hours and a couple beers working out some plans. I think I've figured out how I want to clean up the battery area. I've got a couple things to research and parts to investigate, but I think it's going to be exactly what I want and will really tidy it up so I dont have to source new side covers! I'll sketch it out and post when Im sure!

Seriously, I don't know what happened to winter. It was in the 80's today, and guess how mad I am that I've gotten so little done on the bike? VERY!
Quick update, though, if anyone's still following my lazy a$$ rebuild haha.
I did some cutting/grinding on the frame to delete the side covers, rear pegs and a couple other little things, and it's off to an AWESOME local shop for blast/powder. http://www.taylorcycleservice.com if anyone's in upstate NY. Just a couple guys working 'round the clock fixin' bikes. Awesome.
Most of the other smaller parts are clean and ready to go back on when the frame's ready.
I've got a mock up of the new battery/electronics box (made out of a Boston Lager 12 pack haha) and the materials to make it. I really wish I had my own welder, but I don't mind sharing another 12 pack with somebody for some quick tacks, either!
There's more, too, but I don't want to write it all out when I can post pics soon!

I am curious, and please understand I've tried searching for a good long time, but are there any good, detailed threads about simplified rewires for this bike? I'm interested in deleting what I can...
I can say that based on some research I did yesterday, there are 72 threads for wiring harnesses. The best thing I can recommend is to really look over the wiring diagram for your bike, consider what you need (headlight, turn signals, taillight, R/R, Stator, etc) and go from there.
