Nice one, 50% off is always good

[SVSooke]

Well it's been a while,by my standards anyway.Got a bit done today:


Three of the carbs before I soda blasted then.With a close up of why I did them.


After blasting them.


Added a bit of color to
Yes pete I do like it

[Guest]

Nice job, the rack looks great with the bit of added color.

[SVSooke]

When I get the buffer I'm going to polish the floats bowl to really finish the job.A little detail that will go mostly unnoticed.

[Guest]

They look great! I like that little touch of colour too actually.

I've kept that soda blasting thing in the back of my mind and I'm still wondering whether I should try it or not.

The house mate apparently has a decent sized compressor at his mum's place which I was going to use for spray painting the tank and mudguards, so perhaps I should give the soda blasting a go because they certainly seem to come up real nice.

I'm thinking carb bodies black with polished top and float covers for mine... but I may get lazy yet.

Been looking for a starter bike for my wife for a while now.Seen this ad http://www.usedvictoria.com/classifi...400s-_13789770 Looked at them today.Think the 85/6(built10/85) has enough to be a good bike Kelly.Picking them up tomorrow and you can bet the pic whore you know and love(I hope) will have some.Will start a new thread on this resurrection as well.
Edit;picking them up for $250

Dang it all. Good find. I saw them this morning but am on the couch post surgery. I'm trying to find a decent 400 for my daily work rider for the cheaper insurance. Is the 79 in pretty rough shape?

[SVSooke]

Funny I was thinking of you looking at these.The 79 is looking............... incomplete.It's an L but the tank with it is an E.There is another engine but I didn't get a look at it.Might be the original 2 valve lump.Will take pics so you can judge if you want to take it on.Might be to far gone though.

Appreciate you keeping me in mind. Look forward to the pics.

Here's the thread for the GS400's http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=169291 as if I don't have enough to do

[SVSooke]

So I finally got all the bolts off and split the cases on the engine in post #72(can't find the pics in PB)

Looks way better than I expected it to.Here's the clutch

Plates look funky but I think they would clean up OK(shrugs)

[Guest]

So this was the engine with the water sitting in it? That's not so bad inside at all!

I think I'd be replacing those clutch plates though

[SVSooke]

Its a spare,not doing any replacing.I'm frugal ,I'd clean them up ad use them

[Guest]

Well, at least in that state I don't think you'd have slipping issues...
