I turn my back on this thread for one minute.... That you're posting is what I'd consider a good sign .... OK. I'll read the rest now.

Yeah but, much of what you're are doing isn't necessary, it's personalizing and making it new, what I'd term discretionary spending. I'm not being critical, there's certainly nothing wrong with your approach, I'm just clarifying it was still a super bargain.
But selling Amanda's Yamaha? Hmm.

And now that you have the pipes off and the cover off, you can really polish into those crevices you couldn't reach before, but that you could still sort of see.

The cam chain tensioners need to be replaced. Also, I broke the cam chain guide while inspecting the cam chain tensioners. It took me 5 hours to remove the exhaust system and foot boards. Because I fucked around and had to go get a couple new tools....
So the Harley is is disarray for now. I'm gong to leave it apart for now and get all the shit I want to do to it done. Needs new shocks, wind shield, and and and... I'm up to about $4300now all told. Once I paint it and do the cam chain tensioners, It's going to owe me something like 7k. That's a hair more than its retail value. I just need to convince Amanda to let me sell the Yamaha next spring, and I'll be ok.

But then it all has to come apart again to paint it.

I'm thinking I'll just leave it apart. Gonna trailer the bike up to a tech near Allentown next week. I'll get the seat by then, and can take the body parts to the paint shop. I just need get the tank and those fenders off now. doesn't look too hard.

I thought the timing chain had failed while underway and precipitated an accident, with the windshield and fairing diaplaced, oil running out, etc.
This is better.
