Low buck GS750E rebuild....phase one!

[Baatfam]

Well here we are five days after I brought her home....

Stripped down....frame degreased, wire wheeled, sanded, primed and painted....

Too cheap for powder coating and I didn't want to pull the motor....so it's.....

Rust-Oleum Rusty Metal primer \\/


And then Rust-Oleum Gloss Black....


Should be able to start reassembly in a few days....\\/

(I'll be using a real spray gun and acrylic enamel for the body work..)

Wow, pulling the motor would take about 6 minutes at the stage you are now. Anyway, nice work! Let us see the finished product when you are done!

I know...I almost did, but I was alone and I know it's a heavy sucker...

I'm just trying to get her on the road before the season ends. I'll have all winter to redo it if I want.
It sure doesn't take much to strip these down, does it.

Gosh darn simple machines, aren't they:-D

Looks good! It'll be nice to see as it gets put back together.

It's easier to dump the bike on it's side and lift the frame off the engine.


Of course, you still need help getting it back in the frame after paint.


It's looking great so far!

That's my prefered method...
