Both the Generator and the Starter had a ton of rust and deposits. I took them apart and clean them thoroughly. I have decided that I am going for a patina restoration to keep the character of the bike. It took her 40 years to land here and earn that patina, I think she deserve to show it with pride. So I only re-painted the parts that absolutely needed protection. You can see what I mean on the starter, only the body was repainted to protect it from further decay.Breather box and tail light bracket also could use some new paint after removing all the rust and they are now ready for final assembly.
