I just picked up the repaired head from Mike's. The exhaust cam bores were badly melted so sent it to:
Engine Dynamics LLC
2040 Petaluma Blvd N
Petaluma,California Total to repair both exhaust cam bores but welding up one badly melted bore, line boring, and installing two insert, 1/2 shell bearings was $200.00. The job seems well done and is the way I might tackle it if still doing engine machining.

decals & plastics question

OK, I have two (2) questions, please;
1. What is the best way to remove the KLR Decal from the gas tank and from the front (plastic) covers (the ones on the front near/below the tank)? Don't tell to use a blowtorch, wont fall that one........
2. My plastic covers (the ones near/below) the tank are beat, the fastener clips are all busted. I have to use zip ties to secure them. So, are the front plastic covers really necessary? I am thinking of getting rid of the front plastic covers altogether and riding commando? Bad idea?
Suggestions, comments, please.
