Removed radiator and starter from my 85, found both mounting bolts were backed out, explains the hard starting issue, bike was bought if I remember right back in September and I rode it just once 20 miles to my house, brought it inside for the winter. Been rebuilding a 93 Goldwing since then, so I'm going through this one completely, scrubbed bike down, decreased everything, drained oil, now inspecting wiring to see if key issues such as the crimp has already been done.
Crap I should have taken off and met you In the middle

BG44k for a few tanks should help clean it up.
New covers came in Mr. Morley did them for me. Me so happy.. Now gas sending unit next, my koso speedometer his a built in gauge. And then maybe 17" rear wheel.
My wife made me come back inside to rest on the couch told me to stop freaky missing with stuff and get some sleep. Man i hope she leave's so I can finish up the covers on the bike. She even took the keys to the truck because i went over to the post office to ship a box out. :confused2:

Painted the engine with VHT black epoxy, repainted the aluminum fins and sections on valve covers. Installed for now the reconditioned 2 pole starter with an improved internal ground, installed a supplemental 6 gauge ground wire from starter bolt to the pc680 battery, will be installing a 4 gauge new starter cable in the morning.
If absolutely any problems occur after this I'm getting a new 4 pole. I finished making a new 3 wire soldered and heat shrink wrapped harness from the stator to the mosfet regulator now moved up where the V boost controller was, made new cables from it to battery.
Detailed the front exhaust heat flange that bolts to the block back to its black and aluminum color. Used high heat ceramic paint from Duplicolor. Welded what looks like somebody trying to cut the exhaust pipe with a grinder, had a slot cut about an inch long, cleaned it up and smoothed it out, cleaning up some shade tree electrical mods by the PO and removing junk wiring. Hardest part of cleaning this bike was getting a ton of asphalt out of the radiator and the front and bottom of the engine. Going back to original as much as I can with very subtle upgrades.

Man I sold that fucker to a forum member as a project last weekend. But these forums are still the most interesting and friendly. The triumph forums a admin-ed by a bunch of British tighy assed censorship happy assholes Who "put on women's clothing and hang around in bars". They'd delete most of this place.
LOL, you're always welcome here john!
