    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      Got all white and pearl overlay done. Unfortunately i have to go back and do a respray of the blue on the side covers. Thought i had them well masked off but some white got in and ghosted them.Oh well. Is what it is. I was gonna take pics but at 230 it was 97 degrees and i wasnt sticking around a second longer. Hopefully this next weekend will be cooler and can hit them. Once thats done i can sand the edges in the gaps the decals will lay in and start that process. I eventually will get pictures up.

                          Is it too late for 'before' photos of the entire bike?

                                  Well well... retirement has afforded me the time to revisit the project. Last 3 days i have put all the body work on the bike. Lubed all the cables. Refreshed the carbs and fired it up. Rechecked all the calipers and master cylinders and got new fluid in. Did fork seals. New brake pads. Installed the airbox. Opened up the gauges and cleaned the faces and the inside of the lens and lubed gauge axles. Now I'm repainting the rims as the rear one was white and the front was red. Did a lot of internet searches for 86 sales brochures and all showed solid black rims so that what its getting. Rear rim is done and drying now. Still need to do the front. I will take pics sometime this week after i get the front rim redone.
                                  Its not "perfect" as the passenger seats got some damage and i need a left front signal lens. The missing fairing reflector is on the way. Anyway its looking pretty darn nice. Im linking the other thread for those that want to revisit all the posts involved.
                                  And seeing the VIN label states it is in fact an 86 and not a 85 ( and pics from the 85 sales brochures confirm that ) i went with the 86 pics as the template.

                                      Looking forward to completion. 600s are a blast to ride.

                                          NOTE.. Original intent was to donate it to the rally auction down in Texas. However the rally founder decided to no longer go through the year long logistics of planning for the next year and closed it down. So now the intent is to keep it a while and see if it grows on me.

                                                  Got rear wheel on and mounted the rear caliper and cleaned the swing arm while the wheel was off. I'm not so sure i like the glossy paint but for now it is what it is. May have them redone later in a semi gloss of matte. Might even look into powder coating. Waiting on my fairing reflector and i have to get a petcock. Someone broke the vacuum nipple off the one that was on the bike and filled it with JB Weld. I assume they were running it on prime and turning it to on when parked.. poor mans manual petcock. I just might use it like that till i can afford a new one.
