Project 700ES

Would that be Dupli-Color® DE 1615 Aluminum ?

I was thinking about trying it on my engine.

Yes it is Dupii-Color DE 1615 Aluminum.

Thought this might look kinda cool under the PODS..what a ya think?

Fantastic. Great idea!

The valve cover was beyond polish, so Charlie at Escobar Polishing blasted it for paint. Applied some Dupil-Color engine enamel. Turned out pretty good, probably wont show much under the fairing.

Looking good, that motor and carbs look fantastic.

I like that v&h pipe, you heard it run yet?

Not with the new pipe...getting closer

Got the carbs mounted, swaped out all the rusty hardware. Should have the bodyparts next week.

WOW That looks great!

Thought about replacing the cylinder oil lines, but decided to just clean them up along with all the rusty hardware.

Before..



after....

Pulled the carb intakes off today to replace the o-rings, 3 of 4 were broke or torn...Good call Ed, again!

Joe, who do i get in contact with that did the painting for the body work? As you may know i have the 1100ES, and Rep Decals doesnt have a set for it. my bike is nearly good on the body work, but I plan to ship it off to them to have new decals made, and then off to someone to paint, dunno who yet, but I might look into who you used. My paint is a bit more intricate than yours, as the blue is actually paint instead of decals, but I planned on spending about 1500ish to get it done nicely, so 900 or so sounds GREAT...lol Also, who do i need to contact at Rep Decals to set up shipping them my parts? The projects, BOTH of them are looking KILLER, keep up the great work. You and Ed and Pos have had my favorite bikes as far as attention to detail when bringing these old girls back up. I plan on getting my ES to that quality this winter...

Hey Josh,

Thanks for the compliments, still have along way to go on both. You need to talk to Ellen at Reproduction decals, very friendly and helpful. She hooked me up with a place not far from them who does alot of motorcycle painting. His name is Brad the owner of BK Custom Coating. 519-759-5656. I figured I had to pay shipping to and from Canada either way so Ellen gave me the referral. I should actually have the bodyparts back this week im hoping. I think my total ended up being closer to $1200 with all the decals that had to be removed , which I m sure was a PITA!
Anyway hope this helps!
