'77 GS750, "Hahn" Stuck engine.

Thanks Pete, Yeah I am thinking the 1100 would be the better choice, but the hold up for the frame at the moment is that I am not sure how far to cut it because I need to know what tank I will use so I know how far back the seat will sit.


The kick start is going to be a big help I recon. I got over it after 15 years of only kicking but after riding my SR250 around it makes me want to put a kicker on it.

Hope you get your 750 sorted soon Eli.

Not much to update really, I have been painting the cases and ran out half way, had to order more.

I am waiting on a straight shift shaft at the moment and after that I can get the bottom end put back together, I will be ordering piston rings tomorrow and I should be able to get the engine back together soon enough.

Good stuff Brodie, getting the engine back together is always a good milestone!

Have not update this thread for a while. Progress is slow. Anyway here are a few pictures that should show where I am at now.

Engine painted. Still needs to be rebored to suit the 1mm OS pistons I bought.

Front Rim after a sand blast and powder coat.

Rear after the same treatment.

Mate they look good! What paint did you use on the engine?

 

[Brodie]

Thanks mate. I used VHT engine enamel. Can't remember the colour name off the top of my head though.
