Sam
Sorry for taking so long to respond. Please change the VIN list to show my 2659/E2839 and John Babos as the owner. I don’t know the casting date yet.
Hope all is well with you and your family.

Someone on the SOHC4 forum also commented on the bike’s value, saying VIN 9060 sold in November for < $7k.

Seller says it is a K0, frame number confirms (?) it is not a Sandy.

Sam, Your suggestion sounds simple enough, but I’m reluctant because it would be going into the complete unknown for me. I sent an Em to Blake, but have not heard back yet. To confirm, can you PM his Em?
Gerard, I sent an Em to the painter but have not heard back yet.
Thanks to both of you for your feedback.

So carburetors still controlled by four cables but NOT found on any correct Sandcast? After a quick look (tank installed) at my carbs, I did not see a model (7A for example) onto the carburetor flat next to the mounting plate. What is the correct model number(s) for correct carbs?
Donc, les carburateurs sont toujours contrôlés par quatre câbles mais ne se trouvent pas sur un Sandcast correct? Après un rapide coup d'œil (réservoir installé) à mes glucides, je n'ai pas vu de modèle (7A par exemple) sur le plat du carburateur à côté de la plaque de montage. Quel est le ou les numéros de modèle corrects pour les glucides corrects?

These very late carburetor bodies from the end of K0 and beginning of K1?
Is this possible on such a machine?

J’ai les mêmes marques de moulage sur restauré 2659/E2839. Si l’on examine la liste des 92 distinctions, il n’a pas été fait mention de cette différence. Je ne doute pas de votre expertise. Je voudrais savoir où la discussion de cette fonctionnalité peut être trouvée?

Paint - Badges and Component Refinishing / Finished Airbox and "Bubble Print"
« on: February 22, 2021, 01:43:05 pm »
Attached pic shows one area of a recently painted SC airbox. The work was done by Blake Conway and I think it looks good. Problem is it has been stored in bubble wrap, which has left a "bubble print". I tried a little Plexus and a microfiber cloth with no results.
The print seems to be raised to the touch, so it may be a very thin layer of plastic. Question is how to remove. Heat gun? All suggestions/comments welcome.

VIN's / 2659/E2839
« on: February 21, 2021, 03:45:56 pm »
I think there is an ongoing effort to update the VIN directory with current and/or correct information. I just checked it and 2659/E2839 is still showing the previous owner. Being the current and correct owner, I was wondering who would be handling the updates?
