Thats all for now just wanted you all to know I havent been slacking a whole lot lately on this project. Many things to do yet, I hate to beg but I really need a float needle 1 bad, anyone know where I could get one or a set, thanks. This has been a interesting build so far and it helps to have this forum for my dumb questions and actually some inspiration

Really enjoying your build. The bike is looking very nice. The paint layout reminds me of an old CBX tank, which I always liked. Keep the posts coming as the bike starts to near completion.

A small morning project-a little k36 primer and we will be ok (had to save these budget bild-luder

luder · « **Reply #84 on:** February 28, 2009, 11:23:22 AM »

Last time she was licensed, pretty rusty but we will blast and of course paint the pieces black-was thinking newer style but were looking kind of stock.....

luder · « **Reply #85 on:** February 28, 2009, 11:27:22 AM »

Another issue(will they ever end) Mac exhaust and of course rusty but in good shape, These I will blast and try most likely header paint-you quessed it-Black again. If that doesnt work we will try wrapping them, never done that before. Will keep you posted ....luder

luder · « **Reply #86 on:** February 28, 2009, 12:25:57 PM »

Add to the list of things to do-going to have to take these off,clean them up-what do you think black or gray

luder · « **Reply #87 on:** February 28, 2009, 12:27:56 PM »

The seat pan is in pretty good shape but will need to be blasted and repainted, cover is ripped-anyone now of a nice looking replacement,thanks luder........

luder · « **Reply #88 on:** February 28, 2009, 02:46:39 PM »

Thought I was done for the day but I could not look at the directionals and headlamp ring the way they were-they will look better on the bike colored in my opinion. So when we urethane primered the side covers we cleaned these up and shot them as well. Now time for a chicken on the rottisere a few drinks of choice as I watch it spin around and we will have color on these parts tommorrow...later luder

luder · « **Reply #89 on:** March 01, 2009, 01:28:21 PM »

And colored-the specs are in the flash the gray is really not that light,and yeah I found a float needle thanks to you guys sending links, had to by a set of 4 but oh well, if anyone needs a spare let me know...luder

luder · « **Reply #90 on:** March 02, 2009, 06:08:43 AM »

And the directionals and hl ring now black

luder · « **Reply #91 on:** March 11, 2009, 12:20:50 PM »

Well haven't posted in awhile so a small update. Received my new float needles from vintage Honda(set of 4 about 23 bucks) not a bad deal. Now I cant fight the intake boots back on, pretty stiff. I have them soaking in thinner softening them up and I need some new clamps-not your run of the mill clamps(narrow). If that don't work we will get new boots(pricey rubber) I repainted my rt engine side covers silver(didn't like the black when I put her together)Found a seat cover on eBay(didn't bid on it so hope they have another) Its cold here again (should have sand blasted when she was warmer) All my lights work but(one flasher even though I have power there-switch wires still doesn't work hhmmm Ill think about that one) Lights wont flash (flasher ?) Horn inoperable(more to ponder.....and the list will go on I ll throw a picture on some time later on any good progress...luder

Great progress. It's alwasy good to see something done on a small budget with a little elbow grease.

I have my old carb boots - I'll take a look at them this evening...if they seem useable - they're yours. I also have 4 airbox clamps if you need them.

Lookin good.

A Grove · « **Reply #93 on:** March 11, 2009, 02:45:27 PM »

on subject of the horn, take your switch apart (WATCH FOR SPRINGS) and polish the contacts on all your switches. Saves lots of trouble in the long run, fixed my horn, too.

You shouldn't have to wait long to blast, supposed to warm up this weekend. Can't wait for the rest of this snow to melt.

luder · « **Reply #95 on:** March 12, 2009, 07:03:52 AM »

The way it feels this morn you wouldnt think the snow will ever melt-but now a week of about 47,that will feel good(but less work we will be in waders at night looking for the 10lb walleye)....luder

SUELZER · « **Reply #96 on:** March 12, 2009, 07:39:49 AM »

i just caught up on your build project and damn am i impressed!
wish i had half the know-how and ingenuity you've shown. loved the simple spring compressor, but was astounded by the puzzle-esque side cover, that was fantastic.

great color choices and i agree w/the CBX comment.

can't wait to see more photos, as i bet you're looking forward to completion and gettin her on the road!
solid work

luder · « **Reply #97 on:** March 12, 2009, 08:53:38 AM »

Thank you, but then I ll have to decide which bike to ride today...as if that would be a problem. Next build will be a bobber,,they just look way cool and you dont see many of them aroud here. I will keep my eyes open thru the year, hopefully a xs yamaha 650 but I bet there getting harder to find....later luder

luder · « **Reply #98 on:** March 13, 2009, 12:10:58 PM »

With the seat cover ordered I took this apart, one small crack in the side will weld up after blasting then get her painted up.

luder · « **Reply #99 on:** March 13, 2009, 12:13:02 PM »

I dont think these wheels are going to clean up. PO could have at least tried to keep her a little cleaner
