Byron, here's hoping they can get you in and taken care of sooner than that!!
Next project, 1985 Honda XR350R case replacement.
This used to be my dirt bike, I bought it slightly used in 1986, as my son grew he ended up with it and I bought an XR400 so I could keep up with him.
He took it with him down to LA and has been riding it up in the desert... it's a tank and has always fired right up and worked perfectly (good maintenance pays off).
About 2 months ago I got a call "Dad, I've got bad news"
He was changing oil on it and apparently had not replaced the copper sealing washer the time before, so the drain plug was stubborn. He tapped the socket wrench with a hammer and broke the side case.
Shipoopy.
I sourced a used case half and full gasket set, he pulled the motor and shipped it up to me.
This will be interesting, pretty much complete disassembly to replace it- There's no doubt going to be lots of "while you are in there" rebuilding.
