Bead blast complete. Blew all the residual beads off. Ready for an acetone wipe down and a good bake in the shop oven 200 degrees for 20 minutes and a fresh coat of Duplicolor caliper semi-gloss black.

Baked in my very short lived shop oven at 200 degrees for 20 minutes at 200. Acetone and tack cloth wipes before and after. Can says 7 days for complete cure. It is a bit shinier than I anticipated. But it is done. Cylinders, power valves, new bushings, seals and o-rings, and a can of caliper paint for the cylinders boxed up and ready to ship to SC.

I have also decided rather than having the plug holes repaired on my original head that I will be buying a new billet o-ring head from Wicked ATV. No more head gaskets.

My Bridal Unit is buying the black anodized version for me for Christmas.

I also spoke at length with Roger the owner regarding the upcoming 385 build on the Gray Ghost RZ. He will be doing the porting and machine work on the build. I also bought a billet power valve coupler on his recommendation and 2 spare sets of head o-rings.

That seems like a very fair price for the Wicked head. I would have expected nearly twice that. Better deal than air-cooled tops and looks pretty amazing.

I bought 2 of the lexan covers.



One of my spare clutch covers courtesy of M in SC. Thanks Mark!
I did a quick measurement this morning and will be heading to Harbor Freight this break to get a metal friendly hole saw kit. 3 inches will get me close and a good burr on my Dremel will do the rest followed by a drum sander. Yamaha could have done a better job in the design. Draining water and transmission oil and pulling the side cover to adjust the clutch is just wrong. I also procured a second spare clutch cover for the Gray Ghost RZ just in case.
