Re-Paint

[TheCafeKid]

like i said i havent had a super good look at em, the bike was delivered Sunday, i had to go back to work, and ive worked doubles since and its been raining, but the few looks ive had at em they look pretty damn good. I didnt notice any serious pitting or rust, and there are some "up" risers too. They have barend mirrors on em but im hangin on to those...

Hey man more good news from thats great! The house sounds like a winner. How many square feet we talking? And that 2 1/2 car garage is soundin pretty sexy. I'm up for the pictures game but I still need the after shots all I got are the before and during. But its getting there.

And drum roll please. I got the shipping quote. Well I had it. But i didn't know when you were getting back on. And I kinda got it for the wrong zip code . Number Dsylexia/senior moment. PM sent

The house I'm hoping to get, (going to look at the inside tomorrow) is 2400 square feet. Forgot to tell you, the zipcode for that package will be 46410, unless you already figured that out.

All I got is before and during pics but here they are.

After



P.S. TheCafeKid did you get your new shocks yet.

Looks like another fine example of a work in progress.....looking forward to see what you do with it....did you de-badge it or was it already like that? I've noticed a lot of people have done that....I did it with my GS, and my Intruder.....seems to start conversations easier...." what is it? " especially with the Intruder, most non bike(r) people don't know it's not a Harley.....I was at a stop light one day, and a guy in a truck next to me, and his (?) g/f wife..? were giving me the thumbs up and saying " nice Harley dude! " either they were sight impaired, or ignorant on bike makes and models, but none the less, I got WAYYYY in front of them in case it was the sight impairment!

The PO had taken a lot of stuff off the bike before I got it. What you see in the first pic is everything that came with the bike when I got it. But I would have pulled most of that stuff off any ways.

[TheCafeKid]

you plan on hookin that rear end up?? J/k hehe

[n1elkyfan]

Actually that rearend is going in to my Caballero. Though I do like trikes.

[Ironriot]

A trike with a 9 inch? Can you say overkill :-D

[TheCafeKid]

slap some wrinkle walls on that and take it to the strip!

Oh, hey, Cafe....not to nit pick, but you spelled donor wrong....

DO THE TON!!
'77 GS750B (my cafe baby)
'80 GS750E (donar parts or will she live again?)
'82 Kaw KZ440 (soon to be for sale)
'82 Yam XS400 (another cafe project??)
'82 Yam XS650 (and another...) sold!

:-D Don't feel bad....I'm running Firefox, so it has the spell checker built in, and is CONSTANTLY showing me what I misspelt <------example....takes me longer to correct my mistakes, than to type the damn message!:-|

[97Intruder]

my old signals are in the parts section if anyone needs them, or let me know.

Ironriot,

When I get that sissy bar from ya, I've been toying around with some ideas....I think the rack would look good in like undercoating,or bedliner no-skid paint, then the chrome bars painted to match my bike, and the flame part I'm going to attempt my flame colors on again(Duplicolor annodized), I've had " great success " with doing that before....did a laptop lid,speaker grills for a jobsite radio, and handle-bars on my kids former mini-bike( can't find the pics right now, since most everything is packed). So I think I might do that for the flames.....since the rest of the chrome is pretty much trashed.
After I get it from you, and get the time to do what I just said, I'll shoot some pics up here.

TIME is what I won't have much of VERY soon, so remind me every so often so I don't forget.:-|

You got it buddy. You know we can't go longer than a few days without pictures on here And by the way I like the signals. I'm not a fan the of the huge x large OE signals either. Oh and I almost forgot. I got the tank and frame painted today. The tank is gonna take a few more coats before I'm done. Unfortunately I'm noticing some flaws in the body work. Apparently being a good body man DOESN'T run in the family And I'm really getting tired of the scoot being out of commision so I'm gonna leave it be and probably start slapping it back together this weekend. I think I also got some carbs coming. Wish me luck on that one. Overall things are looking up.
