Work day at the Franklin house

Lots of stuff went down at the house today, the Van got worked on in the morning, then Mike came over with his new Chevy truck and went through and replace the drum brakes on his front end. Charlie came over too and got some welds redone and he fixed his electrical problems that he was having. I think we are all getting pretty savvy when it comes to this stuff, but special thanks to Rick for being there for all of us and answering our million questions. He makes shit happen!
Finally got the top end completely off of both motors
Went through and checked the valves for leaking, they were all good so no need to replace, but one cylinder needs to be bored out to fit new piston heads
Shes naked!
Both bottom ends with everything off, pistons included, wrapped towels around the connecting rods to keep stuff from falling in the tranny
Two kz750 engine top ends, side by side, one is going in the chopper and one is going in the cafe racer that i'm hopefully gonna sell
