John>the chrome in the oil is a known thing.You can go on like this for a
long
time BUT-you say your never going to sell.So why not do the right thing
and get
a set of nikasil jugs and pistons and slap them on the old girl.You'd be
doing
the right thing for her-and for you.As for the wiring-you can get new
looms
from Mark at Guzzirenew or from MO at CycleGarden.Its not a job I have attempted yet..........KO
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, the chrome has been flaking for a while, and the performance is down a little, so it's getting to be that time. I just have so much fun riding it, I hate to take it down... Any thoughts on whether it is better to have the old jugs Nikasil coated (NKSL Silicon Carbide Inc.) or to buy new ones ($600+/-??)???
On the wiring, I'd rather make my own harness rather than buying one. The electrics on this are so darn simple....and if I run into a problem down the road, I'll know exactly where to look! Plus, I DO have the minor complication of wiring for the sidecar...
