A skunk in the works

[Mrs Sooke]

I am very happy that my husband was able to get the Skunk to work on over the winter. It will look very nice painted black and white! However if it was my bike I would paint it purple with bright pink stripes. He nearly had a fit when I mentioned it, but I am a woman and women like brighter colors then men do. I never suggested that he should paint it purple and pink, so I don't know what the big deal about it is!!!!!

.If it was mine she said it would be purple with hot pink stripes...

You know you wanna

Wouldnt it be a special day if there were 2 parcels???

[SVSooke]

Really special would be 3,ordered one of these http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=176956 just before the lockout.That would be Christmas in July

[chuck hahn]

well no need to be greedy with getting presents! HA HA.

[SVSooke]

So my lovely....er OK my wife went to pick up the one we got the notice for:

and there was one in our mail box as well.Was hoping for the trifecta but got that in one way to as AZR is home with my MC.

Chuck that caliper is so nice.So are the legs.Could not be happier,thank you to both of you!

[chuck hahn]

Me and AZR were just PMing. I sent him 3-- 78 Gs 1000 side cover badges about 3 weeks or so ago and they hadnt arrived. I was telling him that you hadnt gotten the caliper yet and i hoped it didnt get lost also. Then i pop over and see that it has arrived. I am relieved now. It is all rebuilt. And as you can see it will just need the new dust boots and the to little orings on the carrier like i mentioned. Look at the parts fiches and youll see the two little orings and where they go.. Enjoy my friend.

[rustybronco]

Glad they arrived safely! and, I hope the contents of that yellow bag eases Rob's pain a bit.

[SVSooke]

Well this is a project coming together very nicely.Went over to Rob's(AZR) to get the MC Daniel (GS7981) gave to him at the rally and give him Dale's grab bar.He email me yesterday asking if I'd trade this


For a set of these

The mufflers are bad

Or at least the left one is,The right not bad

But this is the part I need

A good set of head pipes to put these on

A set of Dunstalls I got with the 400's I bought over the winter.
Had a bit of a "O NO"when I opened up the MC to find
it was attached with 1 screw and the one from the 78 was

attached with 2.But I think this will be OK if not ideal.

[SVSooke]

After asking the GSR brain trust about carb dip up here in TGWN http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=178816 I found out I could get

Needed something to put it in,found these at the local SA

So I took the carbs apart

The slides where so varnished I had to put penetrating oil on them to even move them

Into the pot.The float bowl went in after I took the pic

And in went the 651.They said it smelled bad.Did not exagerate!!!

[SVSooke]

But it sure does work!
