Project 700ES

Still need to figure out mirrors and signals but at least she growls! A few more pics for kicks!

You done with this bike yet Joe? Last word was something about derusting the tank. How's it going?

Ed, I managed to de-rust the tank a few weeks ago, rustbeeter worked pretty well, here is a pic I took awhile back prior to using it and after the acid dip. No loose particles. Pic is looking in from the fuel sending unit hole.

Mine have scratched paint but no marks in the metal that wouldn't polish out real easy....

Just checked them out earlier tonight.

I might have a set that's in better cond than that... Will try to take some pics if I remember. Couldn't you file out the damage before painting?

Dan

Dan

Yeah I actually did but it was right on the edge of the mold so there was really no way to make it look right. Let me know on yours if you have them shoot me a price.

thx man!

Looks GOOD Joe! Are those tie down hook marks on the handlebar risers or just the light. I HATE seeing someone strap a bike down without using soft hooks or loops of some sort! Ray.

Ray,

Yes those are tie down marks from the previous owner, been watching ebay for a decent set. Its amazing how many things stick out when you begin detailing a project. Hey do you have a set on that bike you are parting out ?

Oh but it does now!! That Vance and Hines growls!!! Carbs synced up, they actaually were not to far off with the bench sync Bruce. I appreciate the use of the tool, I'll get your stuff in the mail to you. Didnt use the color tune yet, do I need to?

Ahhh, good to hear it's running! And glad my bench synch was close...sure makes it alot easier.

As for the colortune, that's up to you. Do a plug chop after a long cruise, 4th gear, 1/8 throttle. If the plugs look good, then you are good to go. If they are off, the colortune will get them set pretty darn close.

Boy, that bike looks brand new. Beautiful attention to detail. Doesn't get much nicer than that.

couple more...

Finished up the triple cover, the fork covers are bit to glossey, going to shoot them with some flat. Ordered some new grips to tidy up the cockpit. Need to replace the cracked hood meter and order the stock mirrors.
