Got my GS 750's

Been working on some things

Painted a oil cooler because I realized it would be a PITA to install if I put the 4>1 on.

Speaking of 4>1's test fit it to try out the studs.The second from the left hung on something.Really hard to get a nut on it.Once I did it popped into place

Did the unseen frame to.

Hmmm maybe I should be contemplating that too then. I only have four bolts in total and all four came out with no dramas also...

Back when I first got them I removed the 3 sets of pipes.Had not one broken bolt.Decided to not tempt fate more than I already had.

Nice one! No more pesky heads to break off now hey? Much better

Got a three way tie for what do with my exhaust can,this thread http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=170880 Looks like I got to figure it out for my self
Other than that got my exhaust studs done today.

Bought these from a local store a few months ago.been sitting on my desk at home since.Finally time to get it done.Cut the heads off then cleaned up the ends and:

in they went.Pop the old gaskets out,then in with the new.Ready for the pipe .

Looking good! When do you figure she will be ready for the first ride? I like the detail work you have done. You arent going to want to ride it in the rain/wet. I had mine all polished up at the end of summer, now it is all dirty and needs a good cleaning I am going to wait until it starts getting warmer/less wet before I clean her up again.

Not for a few months yet,lots to do mechanically yet.Then I have to start the bodywork.I hate riding in the rain.Do my best to avoid it,not always possible here though.

Mate you're doing well, that's definitely gonna be fit for a... I was gonna say Autumn but it's Spring for you guys... ride.

A thing I pick up at Kustom Kulture Longe.A guy had done ghost striping on a tank(Harley Sportster) thought that might be cool on the frame.My first attempt and it shows

Looking good. I hadn't noticed the striping on the frame before, nice touch.

Got a little more done.

Got ot tke off the frame around the headlight and paint that."But nobody will see that Greg"you say.Well I'll know so I will do it

I am glad that the rest of the sanding will be done with power tools. When he wet sanded the swing arm he did it in the bathtub, which was a little messy. But of course being the loving wife I am I really didn't mind it at all. I guess that I am quite a bit different from other wives in that respect!

Actually I'm using the tank my buddy Aaron gave me.It needs to stripped as the PO built up a lot of paint on it..The plastic sanding will be done with power tools so I think you should be safe my dear.

It's great to see you supporting him

My wife has no interest whatsoever (and that's not a go at her either, just the facts), but she has indicated that she'll probably jump on the back with me once it's done and I have my confidence back, which would be grand.

I did manage to avoid the baking in the oven by using an old BBQ... worked like a charm and no stink in the house

It was sure nice to see the wheels on my husband's bike. To tell the truth I was beginning to think that he would never get them back on. Every time he went to work on his bike he would find something else that needed to be painted and baked in the oven. It is sure a good thing that I don't mind him baking the parts in the oven, I know that a lot of wives would freak out about it for sure! Can hardly wait until he starts sanding down the rest of the bike and paints it. I know that when it comes time to sand the big parts ie. the tank that he is going to expect me to help him. That's what wives are for I guess.
