( moral is severely mangled honda parts can be reworked and restored amazingly)
I will run this engine until something snaps or it smokes.
Somewhere around 100,000 I estimate.
Split cases, new bearings(german), New shift forks and idler gears, Balance and weld crank, And put back together stock with maybe a regrind(a tad more duration) to the cams.
Polish and anodize the cases and cylinder parts while its apart.
(red anodized, or Gold)
balanced with new bearings and any gears that were worn they humm smoother than new.

Costly sacrifices to the gods arent required if you convert to Amsoil.
Confess your sins and get annointed with the holy oil.
It will take you over and convert you.
It will save you like nothing can... (your motor actually)
Once you have tried black, you won't ever... uhh err

That's awsome!! It's nice to see that these bikes have incredible longevity.
As for the CCT's, I really don't know what to do. I can totally see where everyone is coming from and how it's a good idea to change them but on the other hand my bike is basically new...... Plus, just as many people have survived hundred of thoudands of miles on the original ones.

Amsoil IS a pretty costly sacrifice!
