I'll drop my bike this weekend if you care to "clean" it. I'll even leave a 12 pack!

Better hurry and finish the job, I find the jigsaw puzzle of reassembly get's tougher the longer things are apart.  I think the cosmic bonds between parts break down over time.... ;D

Does this mean you're selling it or just making it pretty?

I see.  So you've decided to keep your money beer local.  A wise decision; I'm closer and only charge a six pack  [evil]

Why, interested in buying a Paul Smart?!? ;D

Nah, the oil cooler blew a seam at the top left corner whilst riding... Prolly went a coupla miles before I realized what happened & found a place to pull over. oil went EVERYWHERE :o
I also had to replace the airbox, so at that point it was easier to tear it apart.

I am trying to get it clean, although I stopped short at pulling the engine. Not doing a full "Cher", but somewhere in between a "Svoloch" & a "Cher" [thumbsup] ;D

More pics soon

First off, I have first right of refusal on the Paul Smart.
Secondly, that's a WIDE margin of cleaning ;)

At this rate, I'm running out of things to sell you :o

Got the Smarty back together (with a few helpful words of advice from Cloner [thumbsup] ), & only have a *few* parts left over, but that's all part of my weight reduction plan [roll] ;D

Just back from a test run, & I think everything's looking good! I'm going to go over everything once the bike cools down a bit, then slap the front fairing on, & I'll be ready to ride [Dolph]
