I have not gotten into the motor at all other than to adjust the valves. It still runs strong so I did not feel the need for a rebuild. The original gauges had 14692 miles on them when I replaced them with the current gauge. The blue was professionally painted as close as could get the factory color. Base coat/clear coat. All of the silver (frame, swing arm, fork bottoms, handle controls, etc) was also done in base/clear coat by me. The rims are just spray bombed black. I also have about $400-$500 in chrome nuts and bolts. Most everything on the bike was either replaced or reconditioned. Everything on the bike works as it should, runs, drives, stops, shifts, lights work. There is a small dent in the tank from where bike fell against my work bench.
