Clouds GS650GL Restoration Project Mitch

[cloudbreakmd]

Duane has offered to soda blast the carb bodies and rebuild them for me. Thank you buddy. My state boards are coming up and I need to study so I can't spend as much time on this project as I normally would. I have plenty of new hardware to order for the brakes and frame, and I am sure Duane will put all new hex heads on the carbs for me (yes I will pay for them my friend). Making things pretty costs money

That just SUCKS!

Few things make me more upset than poor shipping!
I recieved an axle for a three wheeler project, which when I bought the part, the threads on the end of the shaft were perfect (you could see them in the pictures) and when UPS dropped them off...smashed threads, and you could see where the shipper just threw the axle in the box and sent it off.

Hope your painter does you right. Keep the faith, there are few left that do!

Have you bought stock in PB Blaster, yet?

Well my painter asked to buy the bike. He is a friend of mine so I said yes (actually sold for a little less than I have into it)... Delivering it tonight and will continue to help him finish it. Got a 2000 SV650 to replace it.

What's left?
Paint and polishing
Rear Brake Caliper replacement and flush
Flush front brake system out
Grips
Maybe new bars (I hijacked the ones on this bike for the SV)
Maybe new mirrors (also stole those for my GS750)
Oil/Filter
Change the gear oil
