    Really well done. I wouldn't have tried to salvage those r/h and l/h switches myself. But you're doing all this incredibly cheaply. Great job.

      The following thread is the follow on to this original thread. Its currently in the PROJECTS / REBUILDS section and I have PMed admin asking that it be moved to the OTHER PROJECTS section as I had posted it in the wrong forum.

      MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
      1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550

      NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


      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.

        Had to revisit this thread. Just refreshing the memory on her journeys twists and turns. Just a few more weeks till she rolls down the road again under full steam !!!

          How long before you put it into the auction and lose your a$$ on it? ROTFLMAO! Should have done a Z1, people actually WANT them.

              Truth hurts, but Chucks knows it too. We love giving each other a hard time.

                hes just doing what daddy said Ed..pick 1 thing and do it well. Being a condecending smartazz is his thing. So you must be as useless as me too...you wasted all that time and talent on a 750!!!

                  Heck of a journey it's been. The baby Z is actually quite desirable these days, esp. with the "NY Steak" models in short supply. Good work Chuck; look forward to seeing her on the road.
