Very nice looking bike- hope your deal goes through

 

Out of curiosity what Kind of damage, and will this be obvious to me if the damage has been done already?

n Thanks Shortmag I hope the deal goes through as well. Its being sent in for an inspection soon. Im having to leave it to a friend to deal with as I am going away on a work trip for over a month

 

That's going to be a long month if it's sitting in your garage

 

What happens first is pieces of the INA bearing wipes out the oil pump, resulting in no oil pressure, and on and on.

 

A very very long month, my f flight to Europe leaves in 2 hours, and I prob wont be back till the end of May. Gonna be LONG, but worth the wait I hope. Really hoping the deal pushes through now......

Noted Beemervet, thanks

 

Yeah, Bad Things Happen when that bearing goes out, so best to replace it.

I've been to Brunei Bay. It was hot. We laid up a ship there in the mid 80's. Flew home to Texas, which took about 70 hours.

 

Nice, with the USN or Merchant? I actually fly over the area quite a lot. Im a helicopter pilot n cover the offshore rigs and vessels in that area, mainly just south of Brunei Bay.......

Gona get cam bearings first thing if the deal.pushes through

 

US Merchant Marine. I was a Radio Electronics officer before I went to school.

 

Don't forget the tool to replace the cam bearing. Order a James cam swap gasket set, comes with a cam cover bushing too.

My '99 needed very little. Rocker box gaskets. Fuel lines and vacuum lines. Rebuild carb and POR15 the tanks. Front master cylinder gasket. That's about it.

I ended up spending a ton giving it things that it didn't need.

 

Noted re thecam swap gasket set. Im already compiling a list of what I think it needs and will try to ask for feedback at some point.

Ive also started a small list of what it DOESNT need too lol, which at the moment looks unhealthy for my bank balance
