Nope ... just polished the snot out of it and cc it. Was on the fence about cc when I did it. About 3 layers. Some guys here said yes some said no but after the effort in polishing I had in it was afraid of oxidation. Kinda like AL rims on a car. Granted this gal does not see road salt but she is a worker and gets regular baths. Wished I had a can of the Eastwood product when I did it tho. Pulling Dan's lawn roller. @dclarke Edited August 29, 2020 by WHX24 4 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have done Craigs trick on wheels, spray the color and go right over it with the Eastwood Diamond Clear. Very good results. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ArturHawk 175 #6329 Posted August 29, 2020 Had a belt noise on the Raider 10. Turns out the guard slid down a little bit and was rubbing on the top of the belt between engine and clutch pulley. Fortunately, it didn't hurt the new belt too bad...just a little bit of fraying on the seams. While I had the horse in the stable, I decided to swap seats. The old one had studs in the bottom and cups to keep it raised off the fender. Replacement didn't, so I added a couple washers to maintain clearance. Don't want anything trapped in there! I was skeptical reading that IH red was a good match for us, but I think it turned out pretty good. 7 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 9,130 #6337 Posted August 31, 2020 Yesterdays accomplishments. Finished the footrests and proceeded to put things back together and go for a test ride complete with marine grade carpet seat. Those twin Kohlers have a sound of their own. 6 8 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 9,130 #6339 Posted August 31, 2020 Hopefully the hood and seat will be installed today. Patti has the day off as she worked overtime this past weekend and we both will be preparing for the Meet & Greet while we have the time together. Looking forward to it Eric.

Greentored 3,201 #6343 Posted August 31, 2020 Since "long hood, round fender custom with a hopped up K321" is kinda a long name, I have decided to call this one simply- "HOSS", and believe me, it is. Hoss got a different pair of spindles since the front tires always looked kinda "toe'd in and cambered out", apparently they were bent. Also got a correct clutch spring- aint no slippin' now! "Lawn duty" 1277 got another experimental baffle which helped tremendously, til I put it under a load. More on that in the 'exhaust, lets hear em' thread. Hoss came home with me for the week to do some neighborhood cruising and try to get some hours on that engine before it gets completely uncorked. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
