No you are not blind, I put the wrong picture up! Trying to edit this now.
Oh, so it's anodized. That makes sense as it was freakin impossible to buff out without serious pressure or use of 200 grit paper. I think I...
I forgot about that trick. Might try that also. This cam cover is pretty nasty. Was underwater for a week or two after a hurricane in 2017.
Next project....trying to restore one of these clear coated alloy parts. Did a bunch of research an now I am armed with all kinds of YouTube BS...
Wow, you paid $450.00? You got a smoking deal on that. Especially since the engine had compression. I never buy the same bike twice but I think...
I checked the K&L supply catalog and they don't even mention that P/N or even the CM450 at all. Hard to believe as that bike was common as nails...
Can't be too many of these around...especially with 28,000 miles!...
Thanks for the updates....much + energy coming your way!

I tried a few of these out recently from Joe Nelson at V4Dreams.com. My M/C (brake and clutch) sight glasses were wasted and starting to leak....
I would already be there if it was closer. Crap.

That is sure a nice bike you picked up....I wish mine would have been that nice. Good luck, and following your story!
Next step is to start moving forward and get the fairing, front fender, and forks fixed and painted. Total expenditures so far.......$2,755.00...
Took 'er out for a spin today to get it state inspected....got some good compliments from the 20 somethings that worked here. Is it fast? They...
Never have better words been spoken.
Well........I found the problem....it is me...... I had this return spring/cup in the M/C backwards. Jeez, I must be getting old....
Thanks! I am rigging up the syringe as we speak. Good call to have plenty of towels handy.
