what did you do to your R today?

I got this engine last winter to have a spare set of cases but decided to clean it up & use it in my bike instead. The cases are in good shape but the engine looked pretty rough. It had a thick  sludge coating of exhaust residue, oil, dirt, sand & red, silver & blue paint overspray. I cleaned it all up & pulled the cylinder & side covers. I found that the piston had been seized & moisture had gotten into the stator side. I got all the corrosion cleaned out of the stator side & pulled the clutch cover & everything under there looked really good, the clutch basket shows surprisingly very little wear so now I just need to swap top end's & side covers & put the mill back in my bike & I'm ready to hit the sand for the first time in 2 years.

This is the engine from my bike. I did some extensive port work to it in 2012 & only got 2 rides out of it before it started popping out of third everytime I got it up on the pipe. The bottom end hasn't been touched for a long time & it's finally time to pull it apart. The last time it was apart was in 1990 when I had to replace the crank from a lower rod bearing failure. The bottom end held up for 22 years of hard dune thrashing & hill racing! That is a testament to the quality that Honda put's into these bikes.

Just waiting for her transplant:

a quick mock up to make sure everything lines up before the new frame goes to powder

Ordered a new clutch cover gasket and kicker shaft seal, gonna set my ring gap tonight and put the top-end back together. As soon as my gaskets show up I can put the clutch cover/water pump together.

Changed the oil in my rear shock and re-pressurized with nitrogen. Feels much smoother now!

Took the bike to HMF, which is about 2 miles from my work. Got the stinger on my LED 350G pipe bent so it wouldn't hit my no-link rear shock (should have told Arlan what frame I had). It's so nice to have them close, and especially to have a good riding friend who works there.

Also had my buddy make me a rotor guard, this thing looks beefy and should take some serious abuse.

Ordered more OEM parts - bolts, rubbers, internals. Very painful every time.
