Sweet..... Wicked !!!
I have been enjoying the thought that these bikes are worth the effort in putting time and effort into bringing them back to even the new Crotch Rockets look and give you the thumbs up !!!! I have always loved the look of this year and era.
I noticed you havent painted in your Stator cover.
A fast drying Black perm paint pen and 2-3 passes and a quick wipe off with some carb cleaner on a rag with somthing flat inside. Quick and easy and from the looks of that polish job (im jealous) youll be doing it 1-2..
This being my only bike at this time cant go down twoo long with out me going nuts, right now the only thing keeping me from the road is My tank needing to be por15 and a new rear tire... Close real close.. Check out the how bored can you get painted silver/brake paint cyl head bolt heads/ cams...
Can't wait to see it with the body/seat/wheels/carbs/pods/Some cool blinkers/(not so sure about the blue rear sprocket)/tinted ((where did you get it and how much ?? ))wind screen/pc rear swing arms/ did you say s/s frnt/rear break lines.
Great job.Last edited by Guest; 05-17-2009, 12:50 AM.

Great job.
The blue sprocket is a Votex I believe it was $89.00. If you want to order one it uses the same rear hub bolt pattern as a 98 Bandit 1200 (many colors to choose from). http://www.vortexracing.com/index.ph...egory=Products
Yes on the front and rear SS lines, I still need the top one for the front system. I would like to find a Daytona fork brace for it also
Thanks for the tip on the painting in the side covers. I wasnt sure how I was going to do it, might look a little unfinished without it.

The throttle grip seems a little slow to release, anyone know if this normal after re-doing the carbs? Replaced the clutch cable while I had it all apart.
Looking really good.
New cable on the throttle?
Lube and check the routing of the cable would be my first thoughts. If you put on new grips, check to make sure they are not causing a little drag. New rubber grips like to rub sometimes against the control switch.
If it is the grips, don't lubricate it, just adjust to allow more space so the tube is free.
You know, you are making it really hard to keep up on my 700E restore......lol
Can't wait for the body parts.
