Got my GS 750's

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.

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.

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 .

[pete]

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

[SVSooke]

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.

[pete]

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...

[SVSooke]

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.

That looks good, Sooke.

Even your "chalk lines" look schmick.

[SVSooke]

Thanks Leigh (I think).Well my little Supertrapp poll was a bit of a no winner contest.So I went ahead and buffed out the can.Went from this:

To this

I like it

[pete]

Lookin' good indeed!

[Hoosier Daddy]

Me likey too!

[SVSooke]

Got the carbs in at last!

Put the sprocket cover on with chrome bolts

Mocked up the Supertrapp.That's sweet!

[pete]

Awesome! Sweet alright

Mate that's really coming together and those carbs really did come up well, as did that can!

[Hoosier Daddy]

awesome.... simply awesome.
I was on the fence on painting my frame back to black or dark metalic silver and you clinched it for me.

It's this stuff

I was looking for something close to the stock frame color.This stuff was recommended in another thread.Very tough rattle can paint.Putting the engine in twice barely touched itThis color is the bonus of that choice..Mechanically it's getting there.Big chunk of bodywork to do,remember it's:

An EFF,lots of plastic to be sanded,even with a power sander
