Back from the dead. The standard issues of day to day living have pushed this project to the back corner of the garage, but... I did a little bit of painting this weekend, and thought I would dust off the old thread. Below is a pic of the tank and seat. The blue is a lot softer then the...

Your "alternatives and advice" are always welcome and appreciated. In fact, your advice has accounted for about half of my build. In regard to the paint, I am just going to wing it and see what happens. I have the blue to go over it, and a clear to go on top of that. If it all goes to pot...

Wow, that sounds like a lot of wrong. Actually, I followed your lead on the appliance epoxy. My frame too. I wish I had not fallen off the the site for a while so I would have known your tank went yellow. A lot of the tank and most of the seat will have blue over it, so that should help. What...

Here are the pics of the repainted brake parts.

That would make sense. I washed them with dish soap, and I was going to wipe them down with acitone after I hung them up for painting... and I forgot. Nice. It is funny though, the first coat went on really nice without any of the "crinkling" effect. It is quit possible that I grabbed it with my...

A couple of things to report. I repainted the brakes this weekend. After the first coat they looked really nice, so I waited 24 hours and put on a second coat. That did not work out as well. Now a few of the pieces have this crap on them. Not everywhere, but enough to be a...

It may be a 750 cafe (I've got one too), but not many of them look like that. That looks great.

Re: Project GS850 - Body work, minor details, paint, assembly - 9 Days Left Wow, nice work. Much like math, painting is hard.

I like it. Looking forward to seeing pics of it all buttoned up. I know how you feel about waiting on replies. It is always a drag to sign on and see your build on the 3rd page with no "new" icon ;D

Really nice. If I ever finish my project, something like that is on the wish list. Nice work.

Hillsy-- Thanks for the reminder, I have seen that advice about spacing the cuts on here before. Teazer-- I looked at harness tonight, and the shortening idea seems like a better solution. Thanks for the heads up, and all the links. It is greatly appreciated.

This looks like it will be fun to watch.

Thanks for the heads up. I will check out what is in my area.

Thank you sir. Most appreciated, and I will double check with my snippers (I did not think of that. I am new to the wiring game) The one foot is a generous guess at the moment. I am trying to get this mess of connectors: into my headlight shell.

Hi all, I need to extend the wiring harness for a 76 cb750F by about a foot. my plan is to insert a foot of new wire in the middle section of the harness, but I am not sure what gauge wire to use. Any help would be most appreciated.
