this pic was from this morning....as of now the frame is completely bare
a little into this bike
Has sat for years, obviously neglected.
I'm going for a semi cafe look.
Removing rear fender, stock bars, repainting tank, painting frame, front forks have rust, keeping stock seat and recovering, exhaust mufflers are shot but i think i can re-use mufflers, i want to paint them all black and run 4 mufflers with stock pipes.
The engine on her had top end torn down
The spare engine, complete, that came with her has also sat for years, with a little oil in each cylinder she compression tested at 50-60 psi on each cylinder cold.
The carbs had some corrosion but I THINK i got them rebuilt to run
so now for questions???
what type mufflers could i put on each pipe that will allow me to keep stock jets?
my wheels have lots of rust on spokes...anyone ever blasted them and painted them black? then polished the outter wheel/inner wheel?
My front forks also have lots of rust on upper chrome parts, i'm also thinking blast them, polish the aluminum lower portions and black out the rusty chrome
then fork gators or dust covers, any aftermarket or other options for stock gators?
last and not least, my rear shocks are also pretty rusted, any options for cheaper replacments for those?
thanks ahead of time
