Today got back to doing some work on the 750. Started stripping, filling and sanding the fairing lowers so when the weather warms up again I can get them painted. Then it'll be pretty much finished. Not that they're ever really finished, there's always something else to do.'84 GS750EF (Oct 2015 BOM) '79 GS1000N (June 2007 BOM) My Flickr site http://www.flickr.com/photos/soates50/

Today I got the bike ramp my friends and I built from my buddy up in Fletcher VT, it was about 4.5 hours round trip and I had to wrench the tow straps to get it to stay, crazy wind coming down from Canada today. Now I have the ramp!!! Now it's time to use it again to load up[ the Bandit 1200 this Saturday!!!
I love this little cage, it frickin' is a great little hauler and gets better gas then most of my bikes... It also has less HP then most of my bikes too...
SO EXCITED TO GET MY GSF1200 BACK!!! Picking it up from Lurch in 33 hours!!Jedz Moto

Filled the tank with evapo-rust. Sanded to 320 grit on the outside. Debating between paint and powdercoat.

Bike-related: rescued three shelving units that were doing ad-hoc duties as non-shelving bits and scrubbed the rust off, ready for prep and paint over the weekend. The bike-related part is, these will be used for storing bike spares.---- Dave

Steve, surely you jest....I would be proud to own either one. In fact they are probably too nice for me.Last edited by dorkburger; 03-20-2015, 09:08 PM.sigpic

"okay" and "adequate" are not the words i was thinking. haha.
A couple of beauties.
I have plans that won't allow me to keep them, so.............. and after two recent close calls, it hastened my decision.
Perhaps in Colombia, South America I'll get me a one lunger crotch rocket, there's a zillion bikes down there, they are everywhere,
in every nook and cranny, stairwells, houses, wherever they can be parked, even is some restaurants I've seen.
Perhaps something like this,
or this,
Maybe even something that has 4 legs!
Then there's always the two legged variety, should you want.

Was trying to figure out how to fab up a battery/electronics tray to move my components up against the bottom of my cafe seat. I hit upon what might be a great, lightweight solution. I found an old, obsolete computer power supply. I pulled all the guts out of it. It seems smallish, but I can install my rectifier on the outside for better cooling. Hopefully, it will fit my lithium battery and the rest of my junk from under the side-cover. Then I can do away with the stock battery box, air-box, and side-covers.

It fits! Need a longer neg cable tho. Except for the Dyna III ignition module, the electronics and battery are all in the little box right below the seat.
