Heads / Jugs off

Another View

Pile of parts on the bench

Seems I missed a few pics like rocker box, heads and jug removal, Oh well...not an expert picture guy. Sending out jugs tomorrow to go 5 over. Also toying with the idea of buying brand new jugs from HD. Gonna freshen up the heads, new seals, etc.

Will rebuild carb while waiting on that. Just spotted a crack in my rear fender so i will be replacing that too. Thats it Buzz. For now. Botz

Hey thanks for sharing. I can't get enough of this stuff and always enjoy seeing how others do it.

Always loved the look of the black Sturgis bikes with the red stripes.

Good luck.

Hey all,

Thanks for the positive feedback. One thing I have to mention...I have a heavy hand. Im a professional bolt breaker. There is no bolt that I cant snap off with ease...lol. Today was a good day. Didnt break anything. Patience is the key. Nice relaxing day in the garage. Good tunes, a few frosty ones and my bike. Should have it back together by next week. Ill snap off a few more shots. Later.
