Project Windjammer

Ooooo.....
Pretty!

Thanks Billyboy.

Also thanks to Salty Monk's photos, the stripes are as per the 1980 model.

I boiled the tank in a caustic soda solution as well and a thick brown sludge came out of the tank.

The next big job is bending the windshield!

Nice work , it is really going to be a looker.
Sorry, I am having a hard time finding those vents for you, seems like no one here has them anymore, everyone just brings them in as needed.
If you fancy yourself handy with perspex, I can whip you up and send you drawings and you can fabricate them yourself fo a few bucks worth of perspex, be a lot cheaper than getting them from the States, let me know if you are interested.

Following with interest.

Nice one Andre! That tank is looking the ducks guts!

I hope my first painting attempt turns out 1/2 as good as yours.

Slowly but progressing at least:
The tank has just been painted;

Great job. Now I guess I'll have to strip mine and send it to you.

The windscreen is still pending and the new edging is on order, but here she is!

After all that work, I certainly hope you enjoy riding behind it.

Looks great. Love the color!

Fantastic work. Thanks for sharing it. Ray

Great work! I rode many miles behind one of those (on a GS550), and I think you will find it very comfortable and convenient. The storage space is great for rain gear, wallet, etc. There should be a place for a GPS unit, too, instead of the maps that are intended for those vinyl straps.

I think new windshields and pop vents are still available for these, also.

I cant say anything to add what the others have already said.

That's great stuff Andre, very impressive! Looks like you just rode out of a store with it...

[Flyboy]

Andre, Jennifer's clothes are on thier way down to you as we speak with a Pic of the colour scheme I want.
I have dropped you an e-mail with the details for the vents, shout if you need any extra info, hope they work for you.
