Just scuffing the finish with a Scotchbrite pad won't open it to the elements. It will only dull the shine...but use a grey one, a red one will be too course.

Had some unexpected things happen at work last year so I had to put the bike on the shelf for a while. As I now have rest of the winter to finish it I decided to go for a fork swap. Bought this 2005 gsxr750 fork with brake disks on ebay and I'm going to order a new hub from cognitomoto to fit a 3,5" rim.

Just looking back through your thread again, I've been not doing much with my 77' until now. I noticed you painted your engine silver and it looks really good! Did you use a spray gun? Biltema's spray can has something to be desired.Comment

Well I did use Biltema spraycan. They have two different types; Utbedringslakk and Hobbylakk. Hobbylakk is crap, but Utbedringslakk is quite good. Several people i know has painted their engine with it and it holds up. I do have a spraygun and compressor though, but I have to rig a room to use it. We'll see how it turns outOriginally posted by jibledso View Post

Have been working on some parts lately. This is a Motogadget Mini speedometer mounted in the headlight:

You sir, definitely have some impressive fabrication skills.Comment

Well thank you😊. Now I'm struggling to descide between powdercoating the rearsets black or leaving them as is.Originally posted by Sam 78 GS750 View PostComment

Had a go with the sodablaster today. Impressed with how clean an dry the surface is afterwards. Washed the pan in diesel first then blasted it. Gave it a coat of BMW grey to finish it off.

Time for updates.. Got the engine together today. Was a bit of a hassle bechause previous owners had ruined the threads on almost half of the 20 bolts on the valve cover. That will be a task for later, to fix the threads and get a set of new suzuki bolts.
I ordered a set of oversize oil drain plug and tap, becuase there was no more threads left in the pan. This seems to be the story of the engine, there are broken threads everywhere. Two of the exhausts bolt threads are also gone. More people should learn to use a torque wrench.. :/
Here is the new fancy bolt:

I sodablasted the whole engine and masked off the already painted covers before I sprayed the rest of the engine. I think the stainless hexbolt set look pretty good

The gasket set was missing one, so I made it.. close enough
