Project:Old Yeller on the road

[jwhelan65]

Looks really good, I like the frame color. Nice work!

On her wheels with the new Shinko's in place.Was thinking I would repaint the wheels bit after a good scrub with Simple Green I decided I didn't need to.

Wanted to replace my signal/headlight decal with one FrankZ sent me.

Took a bit of piecing together to make it fit.

Some marker work made it look better.Looks nicer than in the pics.

Did the FrankZ ignition switch decal ages ago,finally did the 750's.

Good stuff Greg, always good when you get her back on her feet!

[SVSooke]

It's coming together a bit slowly.

I think my buddy is jealous of the time with the bike.


Looks like I need new lower brake lines.Not sure whether to go with 90 degree banjos or the 10x1.00 threaded ends

[pete]

Lookin' good Greg, and I reckon you've got your first passenger ready to roll too

[SVSooke]

Yeah he's a great passenger till the engine starts

I was going to get new carb boots but decided to try this http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=169370 first.The Rubber Renue recommended to me did work in the really hard boots I had sitting here.

Used my carb dipping setup to get the boots "fumed".Jabcb recommended I coat the parts twice in the RR then let them sit in the fumes.Might work for smaller bits but with the boots I soaked them for a 1/2 hour in it and let then fume.Dunked them in the RR and repeated all day.Leaving them to fume till I get home from work but it looks like I have a set on boots I can work with.

I am getting there.

I'd noticed when I tried adjusting the carbs to fastest idle #4 didn't respond. Finally got to checking it out today.A clogged idle jet.Should be interesting to see if she runs better now.The pouring rain of this morning finally quit so I wrested the carbs in,softer boots made the job slightly easier. Still have to finish getting the airbox side done,need the wife's help and she was busy with the dog so we will do it tomorrow.Nice to have the rags out of the ports.

[SVSooke]

You are leaving off 1/2 the colours on the bike.

BIG RED!!! Done!

Might suit the 1000 better as it will be more red and bigger.Sort of use Euro Skunk for that now though.
I will probably just use "The 750",what I call her now most times

[SVSooke]

Mocked up the bodywork to see how it lines up.Not to bad,could probably done the cut line on the side covers a little higher.I'm REALLY happy with the colours.

[JEEPRUSTY]

Looks like some OEM jobs for them years.
Looking sharp SVSOOKE

[lilbro]

Coming together nicely. I admit it those colours do work well on that bike.
