The guy I bought this from must have rode the bike through five miles of fresh asphalt sealer... It's everywhere... The front fender weighs almost full pound less since I cleaned all the sealer off the underside... I have two hours into cleaning the swing arm already and it's still grubby. My OCD makes me clean everything I take apart, let the games begin!

Ahhh, progress! The swingarm and linkage bearings are in nice serviceable shape. Tomorrow I'll re-grease them and and reinstall along with the Ohlins shock!

So using a grease pencil tied in a loop at the end of some Mason's line, I anchored the other end around the rear axle adjusted the length of the line until it started where I wanted it to. I then drew an arc to the bottom rear of the fender. Some quality time with a jigsaw made the arc happen and a little help from my heat gun resealed and smoothed the edges... Happy with the result, the arc of the rear fender follows that of the rear wheel and tire!

Trying to make Eric Marquez proud! Man these were super grubby on the outside, covered with asphalt sealer and grime, but surprisingly it was super clean on the inside! Piston, pins and slider got a polishing! Have I mentioned how much I hate asphalt sealer?

After I got the caliper cleaned up, I took a roloc disc and buffed the Nissin name out to raw aluminum to match the front calipers...

MC mounted, new Speigler USA SS brake line, New EBC HH pads. The rear brakes are full, bled and rock hard. I replaced the rubber resevoir to MC line with Tygon 2375 and new clamps, I think it cleaned up the look a bit...

Finally a lull and I can back to working on my VTR! Got it spun around this weekend I will try and strip the entire front end off of it and get to work on the fork restore/rebuild/revalve/re-spring and the minumetal task of cleaning off all the road sealer from the front of the engine and chassis... Onward!

The stock front calipers cleaned up nice... Minus the mixture of road sealer and brake dust they look pretty good, "blinged" them up a bit on the rebuild with some SS mating bolts from PowerHouse!
