Retouch or repaint?

Wire markers used to mark the wires on electric motors and other circuits can be purchased in a pocket pack they are preprinted and are put on like a little strip of duct tape. Look for wire marker pocket pack, they are not that expensive.

Thanks for the tip, I checked and there are also printers. Maybe for my next project.

Is the R27 and R26 exhaust pipe the same?

I purchased a brand new exhaust pipe from a friend, but it doesn't align with the frame clamp.

Thanks Tommy, Vech just confirmed they are different.

Does any of you need a brand new R27 exhaust? Do you have a R26 to exchange?

Polishing hardware because I'm in the house bored waiting for spares. NY Customs has delays which is understandable.

I change the oil pan gasket and put fresh oil and I notice oil seepage from the gasket and today a leak.

I took the pan off again and discovered is not perfectly flat.



How hard is to straighten it? Or should I used Yamabond? Or change the pan?

Next time you think the paint job is not nice, if it runs ok just leave it, DO NOT re-paint it!

Use Permatex Ultra Grey sealant on both the gasket and bolt threads. No more leaks.
