I still need to paint the lettering...

And that right there is a real nice pair

What those appear to be is the turn signal control unit, and yeah, it's a shame we can't fix them.

.

Steve, he know full well what those are. I probably have gotten 6 or 7 of them from him in one condition or another. just to bad the idiots on Ebay don't; I got tired of correcting them.

Dale..have you redone the engine yet? I know you were saying you were gonna have your son help you get it on the bench at one point.

[Guest]

All I can say is wow Dale. Amazing work.

[Flyboy]

Thanks Dale, I just drooled all over my keyboard

Wow Rover, awesome, you do know that my Birthday is in two weeks........

[chuck hahn]

No kidding Stan!! I gotta start all over now cuz his will be better than mine when done...and i thought i did a good job

[rustybronco]

I've got spiders living in mine

Steve, see my signature.

Not sure if they're the same type but I still have all my stock bulbs here from the LED conversion if it helps... I seem to recall them all working last time they were in there...

Pete, you given me an idea. I think I might just go ahead and change mine over to led's as well.

Dale..have you redone the engine yet? I know you were saying you were gonna have your son help you get it on the bench at one point.

Chuck, I'm having a birthday party at my place for a few people this coming Sunday, guess what I'm going to ask to help me with?

All I can say is wow Dale. Amazing work.

Thank you Sir! My dad always said I never got any done. He could finish three projects to every one of mine... fortunately mine are still standing

[chuck hahn]

What kinda party are you gonna have to get it down??? HA HA.

[rustybronco]

The same kind of party that helps me install it into the frame!

Chuck, you've nothing to be ashamed with on your builds; I just chose to do mine a little differently.

I plan on robbing your ideas on how best to prep the engine for painting and how to rehab the right and left controls.

[chuck hahn]

And i suspect that will be all on the same day....I am following along and checking out every picture. Glad the old girl is bringing you such fun already. Wait till that first ride..youre gonna be one proud owner!!!!!

[chuck hahn]

Just be sure that baby is as degreased as possible. So far I havent had any heat peel or failure of the SP-127. Its supposed to be self etching according to the label. At some point I have to pull the engines on the 77 and 78 750s to redo them. Before I had found all these new ideas and paints, I had used engine clear coat over the aluminum paint and its starting to turn brown

[rustybronco]

Proud owner? I have been since the day you found it and passed it along. Having a ball rebuilding something most would have sent it along to the scrapper. it gives others confidence that they can restore things to the best of their abilities as well.

[chuck hahn]

Just curious, but is this your first full on restore??? ( of a bike that is )

[rustybronco]

Yes it is...

[chuck hahn]

Well at least your cutting your teeth on one of the roughest I have ever gotten ahold of..all others are cake walks...LOL
