Daniel, you having way too much fun man, I am officially green with envy, following with interest.

Flyboy, after watching YOUR amazing rebuild of that fairing AND your bike,
I Sir, am the one in awe.

Oh my!
Just so you know....
AWESOME STUFF!

[7981GS]

As was pointed out to me, I have gotten two of our African friend's combined into one.
"Matchless" is the one that pieced together the fairing puzzle.
That still does not take away from the simply FANTASTIC JOB that "Flyboy" has been doing to his project that I am envious of.

I've somehow managed to miss this one so far Daniel, but tuning in now

[7981GS]

Went shopping for an '88 1100F Katana and found a POS.











From there, checked on the seat mods on 3 seats at the upholstery shop. Not finished.
After that, picked up a partial GS650G for parts and listed it in the parts section as many members have been looking for parts for these.



Going to try and dial in the wire-feed welder tomorrow and see about installing the foot-peg mounts and swing arm.
Wish me luck!

And by "wire feed welder" you mean MIG and not flux core right?

Bruce.

[7981GS]

Flux core wire feed with no CO2.
My stick welder will just blow large holes in the thin metal.

You have done enough bikes that I won't tell you how useless flux core is but if you weld a lot on bikes you should move up to a MIG welder with argon or CO2...
Flux core is "OK" for non critical things.
An actual decent MIG makes your welds soooo much better and easier.

What brand of welder are you using and what wire size are you using?

Sorry for all the questions but I weld and see some horrible stuff done with Harbor freight 90 amp flux core welders.
