TURBO KAWI
Picked this up around May, sold it, then got it back....it just wouldnt go away LOL.
So anyway, so far I have fitted a new front master cylinder, rebuilt a set of calipers I had as they were missing, new pads. Rebuilt the rear master and caliper and installed new pads. Tune up including points/plugs/K&N air filter/oil change/cleaned the carbs/new battery. At this point I sold it to my father....wasnt his cup of tea, so he bought a 750 Nighthawk S to replace it. Got it back and decided to finally get it looking decent.
Chucked the signals in the garbage can, fitted a nice set I had sittin in a box of parts off my 750K2. Fitted Superbike bars as the euro bends dont suit me. Bar end mirror that was kickin around in another box of parts. It already had Tomaselli headlight ears and a smaller Suzuki headlight so good to go there. The Wolf pipe was a bit crusty ( I'll blast it and paint it this winter...it will be for sale ) Had a Muzzy stainles pipe here with a nice aluminum can....polished the can and instaled the pipe. Had to weld up one of the mounts on the crashbars as it was bent/cracked. Cleaned LOTS of wiring conections and cleaned up the ratty harness and taped it up. 750L rear shocks as they are adjustable for preload and rebound...another just because they were sittin here in another box doing nothing LOL.
Stripped the tank chemicaly, primed and painted it with Duplicolor rattle cans. Lookied alright so I wet sanded it with 1200 and shot some clear on it ( 3 coats ) I'll wet sand it and do another 3 coats in a couple weeks. Turning out better than I had hoped. The sidecovers were cracked, so bought another set, painting them this week.
Lots of cleaning and polishing and it's lookin pretty good. I'm startin to like it more and more, so next on the list is a tail/seat so I can ditch the rear fender/tailight and add a set of clipons. I have an SR front fender here to cut down but I kinda dig the B/C model chrome front fender...hhhmmmmmm decisions.
Here she was.....and here she is now. Whatcha think ? Still workin slow as my arm is still bitched, this has taken me 4-5 months to get this far, and its mostly cosmetic thus far.
