Went and looked at the fairing in Nanaimo today. He lowered the price to $100.00 so I bought it.

From another angle.

Looks to be something like this one I found online. Wow, very old school.

Nice. Nothing like a motivated seller.

Finally a bit of progress

I really need to figure out what to set this camera at to make this easier.

Getting things put back together.
Picked up the gunky sprocket cover today and started cleaning out the years of chain grease.
The underside seems to have a wax paper like covering on it. There are some small rip holes in this.
Does anyone know what this paper seal is for and if I will be OK bolting it back on as is?

Thats a different bike PDX, Derek's bike doesn't have the 16 inch front wheel, that model {16 inch front} didn't handle very well and had a very nervous front end, not something you want on a bike that fast.....

Looks like a bike !!

seaweb11 · « **Reply #91 on:** January 03, 2011, 07:29:50 PM »

Still puttering around with this bike some more. I want it ready for the Spring.

Went to put battery box back in today and found a "some what melted ground wire in the harness.Took me a while to cut it out and sort it.

Engine and frame paint went well I think.

Now if I could just remember where that 1 1/2" diameter x 2" spring goes?

Looking good Derek..

Mick

Hot Damn, that engine came out nice!

What spring?

seaweb11 · « **Reply #94 on:** January 04, 2011, 12:15:26 PM »

I should be done in a month or so.

seaweb11 · « **Reply #95 on:** January 04, 2011, 04:22:42 PM »

I have been searching around on-line for some new shocks and not having much luck under $300.00.

Is that really necessary? I was hunting for something stock looking for a reasonable cost, I want it to get collectors plates for the bike when done.

Anyone have a good link?

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #96 on:** January 04, 2011, 04:32:38 PM »

Its a shame about the price Derek but honestly i would put the best shocks i could afford on that beast, you'll understand after riding it.....

Maybe a good second hand set.?

Mick

seaweb11 · « **Reply #97 on:** January 04, 2011, 05:55:52 PM »

I have only found one set that will even fit so far.........

I was looking for some choices. What a pain.

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #98 on:** January 04, 2011, 06:00:59 PM »

Try Terry mate, he has had a few big Suzuki's....
