Cool, so what's the plans for it?

 

[RuslNash]

Get her running first! Seems like I have bad coils. The wires are all in perfect condition so no new wiring harness. Im thinking about cutting down the front fender a bit. clubman handlebars, low profile turning signals and a cafe seat. The tank ill hammer in some knee dents. Get the wheels sandblasted and powdercoated as well as the frame. I want to bring the engine back to polished metal!

looks like a pretty good starting point!

Always get something running before tearing it down.

You plan to replace those spokes right?.....

Don't make the stereotypical newbie mistakes.

 

[RuslNash]

Yeah the spokes are to be replaced. This is my fourth bike so far. I've made all the newbie mistakes already. While I wait for new coils and jets I'll be focusing on my '82 Virago Project as well as making rear sets for my '81 Gs400

SOS pads have saved the day once again !

 

[hursty]

What are sos pads? I think I need some!

 

[RuslNash]

It's a steel wool pad encrusted with soap! Sold by Clorox. They're so cheap and are great for bike cleaning.

 

[RuslNash]

Tear Down.





The pads are in really good condition. But They're getting changed

 

[RuslNash]

Polishing some things Thought I'd give an update

PRO TIP:

DONT WANT YOUR CAM CHAIN COMING OFF IT'S SPROCKET DURING A REBUILD?

ZIP TIE IT!!!!!
