lol, the AHZEE was a basket case when I got it, someone had raced it for a short while, seized the engine, and let it sit in crates.
I've rebuilt it with some way overbored cyclinders. I ride it extremely hard. Like PINNED for 42 miles. (OFF highway disclaimer, of course) and the cooling system almost doesn't keep up. I've upsized the radiator, the water pump is next.
The Kaw frame broke while I was wringing it's neck, HARD, with a twisted crank. WFO. No mystery, full-grown man making big boy choices. All of it.
There'll be time for parade riding when I get really old.... maybe.
(Check the dates, 7 year old thread)

I would say it's pretty normal wear and tear for stuff that's that old when used hard
I thrash my old bikes really hard and expect to have such issues

Guarded optimism, the aftermarket hotrod water pump appears to have helped. Temp gage at 1/2 scale ALL DAY, save for Weirs Beach walking speed traffic jam.
