Wow, nice build, that bike is really looking very good, like everyone has said, I bet you could not get the smile off your face, I hope you have many happy miles on it.

Finally painted up the seat. I never did this good of a job on my 850 and always meant to. Turned out nice with several coats of Dupli-Color acrylic enamel. Will be doing the inside of the tank in the next couple of days with POR-15. It seems all that clutch noise is gone but I've noticed the oil window is all white now and very difficult to see through so I'll remember the tips on tipping the bike over to get at the cover, thanks guys.

Well I've finished the project for the most part. Seat turned out great. POR-15 the tank, turned out great, at least I think it did, seems to be holding fuel anyways. Did the coil relay mod to help rectify #4 not firing all the time, I had 9.3 volts at the coils so this improvement should help, it seemed to right away anyways. So here's a few more pics for everyone. The bike looks great, I'm really happy with it. Had a great 2 hour ride with it the other day (while all four cylinders were working). Hoping to get out again in the next few days while the temp is 10C, heck that's almost spring.

I missed this thread. Boy it looks sharp. Your making me feel lazy. I haven't touched the bikes in a while. It's been below freezing for weeks and that isn't much of a motivator.

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

Hats off to you for all your hard work and know-how. Thanks for all the pics. I can't believe the shine on that engine! I've got to figure out how to do that. I'm sure the major ingredient is hours of elbow grease.
Here's to many beautiful days on the big open road...

They both leak from the fuel line connection while turned to 'run'. I found the first one leaking when I came into the garage after an hour to smell the fuel and see gas pouring out of my carb overflow.....nice. Ya I saw your tip the bike technique on another posting about clutch rattle. When you say 'tip', I'm guessing at least a 45 degree angle? all apart and never checked it, arrr....like I said, not the sharpest tool in the shed but definitely the fastest.
Really nice bike, bet she runs as good as she looks.sigpic

Yes, I am sorry.

I doubt I'll be doing any performance improvements to this one other than trying out the Marvin header on it to hear what it sounds like. I've got the other 1000 I may turn into more of a stock/mod bike.Rob
