A skunk in the works

[chuck hahn]

Had to be a pinched HOT wire..grounds getting pinched just ground.

[rustybronco]

Ground wires connected to power melt just as easily.

Never did find something that looked pinched or burned on either pod.Of course that ground wire burning could have messed up whatever caused it.In any case I got all new switch gear a new harness so I can't see any reason for a repeat performanceCleaned up and started reattaching the wiring.Also found the place to put the relay for the for the horn.

Nestles quite nice in the frame on top of the horn mounting plate.Get a fuse holder and I have the rest of the stuff to finish it off.Started this to get the Martek rewired,that still isn't done.

Got the bodywork cleared today with the 85 750 bits.Spray gun worked good unlike my first attempt http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=210856

Remember this line that got Eric(7981GS)so upset?

Well I decided he was right in the end,had Apex make me this one:

Think the 45 on the caliper end looks way better to.

Got a new reservoir to,just for Dale

Been busy with the 750 so the 1000 has been languishing so to reignite my interest I mocked up the 1000 bodywork.


Was going to redo the whole tank and tail.Looking at it today I think I'll just carefully sand these down and redo them with a can of 2K.

I think I put this the wrong wayThe "glovebox" piece doesn't fit right.

Screw set.

Sooke,

Where did you pick up this screw set? Is this just for the engine?

Got my SS screw set yesterday.Pretty nice!Way cheaper than I could do it locally.Just got to figure out where they all go

Nice. Just ordered a set and the carb bolts too. These guys have a US site as well so I didn't have to pay to ship it from the UK.

I'll be referencing your build as you have a ton of good info on there.

Thanks

Well I made a deal for a "new" project on Sunday http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=218418. Thinking I don't really want 3 red bikes so this one's going to change.Blue?

[rustybronco]

Thought about this since yesterday. I'm thinking green only because I'm partial to it. Not that really bright green shown on the GPz550 http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...6-12-11003.jpg but more of green on the bluish end of the scale.

Similar to this...

[SVSooke]

I'm not that fond of green Dale,thinking more along the lines of this:

And maybe get this guy http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...php?t=217400to make me up some reflective "Skunk" stripes.

[SVSooke]

Looks like I'm going to come the full 360 on this and go black with white

[SVSooke]

Put to much effort and time into the red so it's staying,maybe.
Actually pulled her out of the shed and did some work today.The wires to the Martek where NFG so I rewired it after months of thinking about it Not quite finished as the wind was cold.
