Thanks everyone. Your support makes it all worthwhile.

Here are a couple of pictures in the daylight.

I think the headlight ears look a little off in silver and need to be powder coated black. What do you guys think?

Agreed....or white - would run with the tank white...

Looking very nice!

cheers
Andy

I dunno, it's a tough call but I think either would really look good. Take a picture and black the ear out with a marker to compare.

Great idea Ecosse.

I'm going to rattle can one side and see.
If it doesn't look right paint stripper will fix things right up.

Thanks.

Or maybe red?

Yeah red, with a bit of white outline and a blue pinstripe separating the two. Or something with the three colors combined, echoing the tail section in some way.
Very nice...

FJ!

That paint scheme brings me to a new place spiritually. Did you have it painted? Did you spray it yourself? and could you talk about the process you used?

I've got a 1998 VFR I've redone in red, but am thinking about going to the 2007 anniversary paint job.

Love the build man, just love it.

Is it paint by Kokura, by any chance?

754 · « **Reply #80 on:** March 07, 2009, 08:32:21 PM »

Well.. You are in good hands paint wise..

Do you have a spare sprocket?, sometimes you can file or grind em out a few degrees, they locate on the centre shoulder, I am thinking.... or if they are the same, I have a few 750 ones..

bwaller · « **Reply #81 on:** March 08, 2009, 03:46:13 PM »

Jimmy, I'm getting one done this week (could make it two) if you need another option.

papp101 · « **Reply #82 on:** March 08, 2009, 08:10:11 PM »

Funjimmy,

Do you have any documentation on those paint codes? You had mentioned you picked them out and I love how they go together.

Much appreciated!

papp101 · « **Reply #83 on:** March 08, 2009, 08:51:39 PM »

You're the man. Much appreciated!

A little bit on the painter..

back in the 80,s Michael Jackson, sent a car up to him to paint
(does not mean he would paint for him today

)..

There was a Chevelle he painted. in the 80,s, with absolutely killer paint, that scored quite well in the ISCA show circuit standings..

so I would imagine his painting is even better now..

Jimmy is in good hands..

I never met the painter by one of my best buds knows him from the body shop trade..

and we used to..err.. spend a lot of time in his uncles Hotel..
and I worked a bit with a buddy of his named Smith.

Jimmy, tell him you ran into one of the "Yukon Jack Swilling Dou".. heh..heh...

Jimmy,

The guys at all balls bearings were ridiculously helpful. Thanks for the tip.

Another question I figured I'de throw out there.... Since you have a bracket for your headlight, care to sell the buell ones that you had? Figured i'de try to recycle....

754 · « **Reply #86 on:** March 13, 2009, 09:02:48 PM »

Jimmy,
my buddy Frank re-informed me that Michael is a rep for a company that is into waterborne paints, BigTime..

I think that will be huge in the coming years..
Have you seen any custom bike work done by him in waterborne?

.......................................................................................

We should find out if 750 and 550 cam sprockets interchange, and I should get one ready for you. Do you want slotted or new holes?

754 · « **Reply #87 on:** April 18, 2009, 12:34:50 AM »

Do we get to see it on Sunday?

Cool you got it done, look forward to seeing it..

754 · « **Reply #88 on:** April 30, 2009, 09:00:12 AM »

Shoulda parked it at my table, then I would have met everyone!!

Man i wish I got to see that..

SoPackedCustoms · « **Reply #89 on:** June 10, 2009, 09:58:14 PM »

Ok so this question is going way back to the beginning but did you machine or take anything off the bottom of the lower r6 triple tree? where its 30mm? Thanks

754 · « **Reply #90 on:** June 11, 2009, 08:49:47 AM »

Heeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...
what did you guys end up doing when you were up here

Did you hear the MIGHTY 78 K, prwling the parking lot at the Motel ?

noisebomb · « **Reply #91 on:** June 19, 2009, 01:31:18 AM »

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL bike!

I have a question.

Quote

If you haven’t taken the time to relay out your headlight, find the time to do it before riding season starts.

I am about to start on my wiring harness rebuild, and am curious as to how exactly you did this.

Thanks!

hope this is of some help. i got it from this forum but can't remember from whom.

edit: ok, i just posted the pdf... a little too slow it looks.

Thanks for the PDF, I printed it off. 130WMain! Sets the trees on fire?

bert96 · « **Reply #93 on:** June 20, 2009, 02:23:23 AM »

I know something similar can be made for the ignition but i can't find it

bwaller · « **Reply #94 on:** June 20, 2009, 04:54:09 PM »

There is a ignition relay diagram in the FAQ section. Here is another from wiredgeorge for a Kawasaki. Remember the Y/R wire will be B/W in Honda.

noisebomb · « **Reply #95 on:** June 20, 2009, 06:10:47 PM »

interesting. What would be the purpose of this modification?

bwaller · « **Reply #96 on:** June 20, 2009, 08:35:39 PM »

There can be a significant drop in voltage in the path between battery and coil through resistance in wires, connections and switches. the idea is to provide the coils with as close to full battery voltage as is possible.

Ecosse · « **Reply #97 on:** July 03, 2009, 01:21:42 AM »

need you ask? clean. elegant. cool.

btw: you can stop right now, a new tach doesn't constitute a re-build and therefore the interceptor doesn't qualify for (and win) botm again.

just razzin ya.

Beans · « **Reply #98 on:** July 03, 2009, 01:33:46 AM »

Hey jimmy where did u find those turn signals? looking for a clean set for my bike.

Beans · « **Reply #99 on:** July 03, 2009, 08:02:16 AM »
