Project:Old Yeller on the road

Yeah I guess so,but odds where against you as well as my lack of storage room.
So we are off the road today as the insurance has run out.The tires are looking worn and so is the paint.Want to repolish the stuff that I did back when I was learning the process.Still an open question whether she will be Old Yeller when she's done.

Hey, it was worth a try, right?

IF you need a project you can pop by L.A. and grab my boxes and boxes of parts I'll be getting. I'll come up to ride the complete bike back to Los Angeles come spring, cool?

Yeah right.My 1000 still needs to be done and so does this one^^^

Yes Greg you did!

Thing of the past now.On the trip to Renfrew this last weekend I could turn her off with confidence she would come back to life with a touch of the button
Last day for insurance Friday.As fiances have dictated no new projects this year I'm moving the redo of Yeller up a year.Yes another complete teadoen.Kelly will be SO happy when it's time to remount the swing arm and the engine.Great 2 projects and nothing to ride

Been having charging problems with Yeller.In a couple of trips up Island the battery was going dead as I was going up.Got real good at bump starting her,right Trevor

So I bought 2 of these voltmeters for $4 and change from China.Showed me that the bike was charging when I left but stopped 1/2 way though my 20 min commute.As I have a good PH009 MOSSFET R/R that was not the likely problem.


Thinking this might just be the problemPO's(we need a shaking head smiley)

The other side and the one I put in.Good solid 13+ volts now

So it seems I might not have a project for this winter.I have made some mistakes with this bike I would like to fix.Biggest one is not adding enough catalyst to the clear when I painted the bodywork.It is VERY soft.Much better polisher,with better equipment as well.So unless something else comes up reworking Old Yeller might be this winter's project.Now the question is will she be Yeller at the end?

Guess I was wrong.They don't fit.Could probably mod them to fit but I'm not going to.Give them back to my friend looking better than they did.

Didn't think I'd just use them like that^^^did you?Brown stuff behind the pistons tells me it was a good idea.


Looking good all painted and curing in the sun.

Was worried they might not fit,not now.

These opposed piston calipers should be a great upgrade for Yeller.Yeah I'm going to clean them up and repaint them.Off a 83 550.

Yes I did,here http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=196987

Cool! I shall head there shortly... and the 450 got a spit and polish today too but no pic's this time around...

She scrubs up real nice Greg

My 450 needs a bath and a half... covered in filth from the recent feral weather... maybe today.

You'd best be posting many pic's from that even too

Going to this tomorrow so:

Gave Yeller a good clean and a bit of polish.

Used my new polisher on the screen,worked great.Loose wheel with white bar really works on plastic.

Still some crazing but I think it's deep in the plastic.
