80 Intruder Refresh

[SkiDog74]

Got a few things done over the last couple of days. Cleaned some more parts, had to replace both chaincase bearings. Looks like sitting for 30+ yrs did them no favors. Axle bearing had to be replaced as well, but the jackshaft bearing was fine. Almost ready to install the chaincase. I've got to rivet the stirrups in first though, they polished up nice. More to come.

Finally got a little time to work on the Intruder again. Got the track, drive axle, chaincase and jackshaft in. The woodruff key for the brake rotor and one push pin for the movable pad were missing, so I had to fab up some replacements. Otherwise all went smoothly. Next step is to put the bellypan back on.

And an after:

Gotta admit I didn't expect it to clean up that well, now I'm going to have to go a little further than planned.

Looks great!  What did you end up using on the pan?

I started with Turtle Wax red rubbing compound by hand and then used Meguiars Mirror Glaze Plastic cleaner with a orbital buffer. It took three applications of each before it was ready for finishing. I finished up with Meguiars Mirror Glaze Plastic Polish, using the orbital again. I'm really impressed with the Meguiars products, I've used them to restore windshields before, but this was the first on something else. Thanks for the compliments guys, now I'm stoked to keep this rolling.
