    The turd

    78 GS100E. I have pics of yesterday and todays work. Yesterday i stripped parts off and today i prepped the frame for repainting and started engine disassembly. Sadly i dont have pics of it the day i brought it home but TURD is an accurate descrition. Tank caved in, entire front of the wire harness hacked off, wrong seat and broke seat trim, no headlight or bucket, no frt fender, no rear fender section that holds the license plate..and on and on it goes.

    Thankfully between Steve, Salty Monk, and Rustybronco i have acquired just about all the major missing parts. Many thanks guys.

    The tail cowl was drilled for what i assume was a rack at some point. Easy enough to repair it.

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      You don't usually do a total engine disassembly, why this bike?

        Its been beat to crap for one thing. Secondly its going to a customer in Texas and its best case policy...my policy..to replace all the seals and such to ensure there are absolutely no leaks. Besides its out so its just a few more bucks and a days work to rebuild it. Did you see how thick the carbon is on the pistons!! Gonna get new rings too. Do it right one time.

              Now why did I never think to use a baking tray for anything other than baking. I have alway sused the line it up at the back of the workbench and keep fingers crossed I don't knock anything or forget it's there and dump some other important stuff on top of it.

                I was shown the cupcake tin by my dad before i could even own a vehicle. I also use box flaps and poke holes in them with a screwdriver to put cover bolts and screws in, Take them out in the same pattern every time,,for instance i always go clockwise. Keeps them together for each cover and no guessing what length goes where.

                  It's the best (and only) user for old baking pans. I have more pans in my garage, than I have in the kitchen, lol...

                    I have been using the disposable version for years when I do carb rebuilds, too.

                      DOnt use strofoam egg cartons.
                      ANy carb cleaner solvent will dissolve the strongroom and then it reforms on your parts as almost a plastic.

                        Chuck,
                        ANy comments about the dents in the tank.
                        One looks kinda shallow and big but fairly gradual.
                        Other seems deeper with definite crease.

                            Wire wheel on the angle grinder makes quick work of paint.

                              Redman, i bought the old tank off Dale ( Rustybronco ). The original tank from Penelope. I got a good body guy that can get in there and push most of the caved in stuff out and it can then get a little filler and again be a good tank....but thats a way down the road.
