It's been a busy week with filming projects and other repairs not related to the motorcycles and not much time to get into the shop. There has been a little tire research going on to prepare the Thruxton's next chore, but only just. However, one of the things that I have been looking forward to was David E. dropping by with the re-coated exhaust system for the 1978 XLCR project. About somewhere around mid spring 2022 my good friend Mike P. was kind enough to allow me to be the next caretaker of his CR. I've always found the CR to one of Harley's better styled machines.
The exhaust will go back on when the weather gets warmer. In the meantime I'll do a bit more research as to either rebuild or replace the carb and gathering parts to overhaul the rear brake system. Other than that, the only other thing needed will be to replace the oil line under the timing cover. Hopefully, it'll be ready to ride for the fall football season! Here's to looking forward!
