Hey Serowbot,
Lots of time involved in that. Looks very promising.
I'll throw my head in the sheep dip tomorrow and start the cleaning rituals.
I'm also going to work on all the casting flashings that block the airflow along the sides of the head.
I still think removing the left side may be a good thing. With the tank I have, it's pretty tough to get to the plug, and I don't think all that metal is adding as much to the cooling as it blocks airflow to the plug area.

In theory, theory and reality are the same. In reality, they aren't...

I pulled the brake assembly and used a handheld grinder to chamfer the ends of the shoes and cut grooves across the faces of the shoes, decreasing the contact are by between a fourth and a third. If I had kept it I would have done a little more.
Can't put it back, so, if you do it, start with less cutting.
If you angle the grooves a bit you can make it spit the dust out.
I could modulate the pressure and vary the braking and actually Feel the pedal against my boot before it would lock up.

THere is a simple mod to make it swing out and gain access to the plug.

IIRC, it's the right side,, the one that the vent tube runs through. Gotta cut the strap that runs behind the tube, and shorten a bolt by cutting the head off, leaving a bump tall enough to keep it from rotating out. Seat that short bolt and Locktite it. You can use the other bolt normally. It will hold it down and trapped on the short bolt.

I was talking about access to the spark plug. Plug is on the left side of the head. Gas tank blocks access with the extra metal on the left side of the head.

How hard can this stuff be if it can be sanded? I've used epoxy in industry ,but when it cured it couldn't be sanded,and some contained ceramic beads for heat and wear resistance.
