    76 KZ 650B1 ( AMF auction bike ) part 2

    Well its starting to get some revival momentum. After life event changes and some patient waiting, its time to get the bikes resto heated up. I am going down to Texas Sunday AM to pick up the bike and bring her back to Oklahoma.

    First thing I will need to do is source some old used tires for the rims just so it can be a roller for the time being and not sit on bare rims.

    For those unfamiliar and those wondering what happened, here the original thread with the starting point pics and several posts of what I had gotten done before the project was put in moth balls for the time being.

    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.

            I sure hope that you end up keeping this one when you are done just to round out the diversity of the herd.

                  Tank filed with the sauce. Just 2 hrs in and the hump is looking very good. Now the "guess " as to how long to let the rest soak to be sure its good and clean. Probably till around 4 PM?? That would be a good 7 or 8 hrs.

                    Hey Chuck,

                    I use one of those little mechanics (dental) mirrors and a flashlight to look down inside the tank. Most likely 8 hours will be plenty.

                      Its a pretty hot mix i got going. Gallon of the sauce and half a tank of water. Going and giving it a good shake very half hr or so. Got a coat hanger wire straightened out with a loop on the 3nd to run up and down the seams to get them scrubbed out as good as I can.

                        POR 15 is in. Rolled it around and around till it started to thicken and build the layer thicker and thicker. Directions say 96 HRS cure time but I wont be doing anything for a week or so anyway. It should be well cured by the time I hit the tank with stripper and start paint prep work.

                          Well took some time today to get some more done on this project. Took the head, jugs, cam cover, and all 3 rotors to the shop and ran them thru the blast cabinet. Now all that remains is the lower end to blast. Then AT SOME POINT....god willing I get the time.. it will be painting and get some of the engine reassembly under way. Soon as my laptop is up and running again I will post pics.
