I bought this bike last January, over all it was all there. I cleaned it up and did few hot laps with it in the open field. Then it sat for awhile.
In October I went to MMX track with my son and friends, it happened to be a vintage day. I did three laps and it quit. Went from wide open to nothing. It did not seize, it still turned over. I just parked it and rode a different bike for the day.
I found the rod bearing had disappeared, but other wise no damage. I decided to get a new crank, replace all the bearings and paint the motor. This is why I am posting.
I decided to get a Cerakote coating. I just got it back and started the rebuild and I am very happy. It is a thin coating and very strong. Got the lower end assembled and no scratches or knicks. I usually seem to knick or scratch things. Can’t wait to see how it holds up to the elements.
