So, If you are using Polyester fiberglass resin and are looking for more work time before it kicks, do it in a cool area (Like a basement in the winter) We are talking in the area of 15C/ 59F to 20C/ 68F. If you leave it there and even colder, it will stay workable. You can easily work the air bubbles out. Then you can place said part (in this case a seat) over a heater vent in a bathroom with the fan on, it will kick the resin and all is good in the world.

I actually got to start working on my first bike last night in the garage. I am hooked. I didn't want to stop tearing it down. I am going to have to learn to be very patient for the next couple of months! The only thing holding me back are funds!
Finally got the gT750 timing set within 0.1mm on all three cylinders. That thing put up a fight. In teh end, I had to strip the DYNA pickups off the backing plate, brake up two of the holes and re-drill and tap them to get enough clearance.
Now I need to find that missing third intake rubber. I bought a set of new soft rubbers and one has run off to join the circus or is hiding in a warm spot. At 43 bucks a pop, I'll look a little longer before I get a replacement.

Heaven is so far away.
Swapped out a Suzuki hub onto a 2.15" wide wheel after having the chrome blasted off the wheel. Had to wire wheel the rust from the spokes but got it laced up. Still needs trued, but the wheel bearings are bad in the hub. Got the plastic tank fitted on the other Zook frame, and just cleaned the garage for a little while.
Fitted the exhaust. I had planned on fitting a stock exhaust first to get baseline dyno results, but it kept fighting me, so it can wait its turn.
It's a GT750 two stroke triple and the exhaust is a Strader 3 into 1. Myth holds that 3 into 1 pipes kill top end on two strokes. Contemporary reports suggest that this pipe worked. Hope to get a definite answer soon.
