This winters project.. ??

I think they are 7 spoke though..

I have a front and rear set you can have if they work, came off my 81 GPZ 550. I'm in Spokane WA though..

Nice work! Very clean and simple, a classic.

Just needs a bath!

Had to fix tank leaks and that meant a full sand bondo and primer ordeal. Plus I finally got the seat painted

Oh yes it also got new shocks finnaly

This is a paint scheme on the tail that I didn't like. Didn't pinstrip it, thank goodness. That blue stripe I did under the seat doesn't match by any means. Will post completed paint photos hopefully before the weekend.

I did finish this other project in the mean time.. different type of a build - my son's balance bike. It's the worlds first full suspension aluminum downhill balance bike..

Spokane WA! Still have the bike and been slowly working on it. Had to repaint the tank and tail. Got the seat done and should have photos of it rolling around next week.. Had another baby so projects lost interest lol. Not getting any power to headlamp though - stoked about that.

Looking back over this.. I didn't drain those before starting the project..

So every shop in town is saying it needs carb work not the petcock. How do I diagnose it for either or?

What do you guys think the current as-is value and the completed value? Looking to sell.

Should I just leave it then and use prime like it's a manual policy? Probably not as it idles high hu?

Thanks! Would I need to take those bowls off every season? Not sure how I would drain those. Also, I turned the lines that were between the cards (only two) up and tucked them above thinking it wouldn't need to drain anything just breath. Should those be going down not up?
