Just purchased a service manual and a gasket kit for the engine rebuild. The SR has a cracked cylinder, the reason I got it cheap. The new cylinder will be bored for the Wiseco 90mm 11:1CR big bore piston. I may have the cylinder head gone through before the rebuild. I may try to paint the engine black and polish the fins on it.

I’ve been considering the Ellaspede Tracker seat kit for this bike. The almost $1500 price put me off on that, but I do love the look. An inexpensive steel seat hoop will go on it, unless I find $1500 laying around. I just purchased a seat hoop with an LED stop, turn and brake light already installed. It looks to be of good quality. The original centerstand came with the bike but I need new bolts for it. I might put it back on. Still much to do.
