[Etcheberri]

then i cleaned up the garage for almost 2 hours! X)
and that s it for this week end fellas!

[pete]

Nice work, that frame is looking real good

And yes, a garage clean always helps

[Flyboy]

Nice work on the frame, looks brand new, keep it up.

[Etcheberri]

@Pete and Flyboy.

Thank you guys!

[SVSooke]

Nothing like as fresh painted frame

[Hoosier Daddy]

Great stuff, That frame turned out sweet! I'm a sucker for progress pics so keep 'em coming!

[Patman]

You're making really good progress Etcheberri,the frame looks great!

[Etcheberri]

Nothing like as fresh painted frame

Amen to that sir!

@Hoosier Daddy
yep! i will, thanks

@Pat.
thank you

next week end i plan to

Clean the inside of my tank.

(After much hesitation i ll give my tank/panels to a guy that has a lot of experience in painting these, he offered me a realy good price for the whole lot,
would cost me more to just buy a compressor+gun...And i want the best finish possible, i won t give that bike that said finish, not as good as that man will.)

pull out wheel bearings, clean/paint the wheels.
(can i work on them without having to remove the tires? :P)

and probably Clean/sand/paint as much pieces as possible.

What s next on my buy list :
Flywheel puller, rotor holder, valve seals, with these 3 items i ll have everything to finish the engine block.

then i ll need some way to mount it on a stand (going to use a car engine stand with some stuff to give it space, i plan to paint it on there, cure it with a heat gun. (i asked a dupli-color specialist for that, even if anyway the engine will cure the paint with it s own heat, just need to run slowy 2-3 sessions of 10-15 minutes, but i want to be sure! )

(no domestic oven environnement allowed for me :P)

and, because i am a geek, i think i ll build up a basic electrical system (with a car battery) to bench-test the engine, before putting it back in the frame...
maybe i ll even rig it with the speedometer and clutch/throttle. but that s not for sure at all.

[Etcheberri]

by the way,

here is my color scheme, so far.

Dark grey.
Orange and white stripe.


EDIT :
@PATMAN
How is yours doing? nothing new on your thread?

[drivera84]

I like the color scheme!

[Curly]

Very nice job on the frame, I forgot how much crap I cut off when I powdercoated mine.

[pete]

Good call DP, that was a brilliant idea of Daniel's.

[Etcheberri]

Have you seen this tread?

It includes this picture:


You do have two frame....

If you want to get a larger frame and cut it up I would be willing to buy it back from you. At a good price of course.

DP

Interesting idea indeed!
I might do that!

I am going to embark on a rebuild as well, it's also a 1983 GS750 E

your pictures and write up have inspired me to do this, bike has been sitting in my garage for over 10 years, basically the last time I rode it.......

a couple of pics, as she sits now....






going to use your thread for guidance

hope to see yours finished

I might even ask you and the rest of the forum on where to get certain parts, like brake pads, seals, gaskets, etc....

Cheers
