Picked up a new saddleman seat cover this weekend and just installed it! Also pressure washed the heck out of it, looks much better without all the grease! Rebuilt the carb also.

That's a nice find. If only my 110 was that nice to start with. My motor came with 1 quart of 0w 0 water in the crankcase

Also spent sometime this week taking out the dents on the gas tank no BONDO was needed good old PAINTLESS DENT REPAIR!! Also colored sanded and buffed the tank, the original paint is still quite shinny!

Lots of degreaser? Was it leaking or just buildup from age? It took me a while to wash all the old gear lube off the top side of the skid plate on my 84 200ES, that fortunately was only buildup from the previous owner draining the rear end.

Nice to hear you didn't have to use filler on the tank, always better to be bondo free.

I bet it will look nice when your done. I soaked mine in simple green and then power washed a few times, took most of the crud off, previous owner left intake valve adjustment cap loose and it leaked oil all over the head and down the back side of the jug.

Removed the mud guards I think it looks better without them on.
