Yup the red one is a runner, the first thing I did when I picked these up was to get the red one running. I stripped and cleaned the carbs, i also refurbished the wiring harness by re-taping it and cleaning all the connections and greasing them up, a bit of gas and it fired right up on the first turn nearly. I then vacuum synced the carbs.
This bike is actually running very sweet, there's no knocks, whines or anything and it's running very smooth. i did a compression test as well and was pleased enough with the results. So i proceeded to start work on it. I'm using the black tank as it's spotlessly clean inside.
I actually picked these bikes up a few months ago now and had them stored for a while, its only in the last 2-3 weeks that I've started working on it.
I have to say it was Funjimmy's project interceptor that really got me thinking about doing a cafe, I had planned to try and do the R6 front end swap but I decided to just stick with cheaper option of keeping the original front end.
So the first thing I've done anyway is to pick up a set of adjustable clip ons off fleabay...
