Just purchased front and rear GSXR wheels. 18" each.
I will be picking up VHT silver for the case and black for the cylinders and head today. I plan on cleaning everything with a diluted 10:1 POR marine clean then a final flush with hot water to ensure all glass media and any residual oil is removed and then bake it in the over at 250 for a thorough drying prior to paint. After paint it will get baked again.
I will be checking out a SV1000s front end today to take measurements.
Hopefully engine will be reassembled by the end of the month.
I am going to do some minor mods to the blast cabinet so I can soda blast the carbs and then disassemble and sonic clean and reassemble with all new gaskets and seals.

Been awhile since I have posted here. Work has been ongoing, frame has had bracing, engine has been painted, Bandit 1200 front end done. Bandit 1200 front and rear wheels added with a 170 rear tire. Frame is going to get painted this week as are wheels and many other parts.
Rear sets from a 1998 gsxr750 installed. 530 conversion with 5/8 front offset sprocket, 17/47 sprockets with DID xring pro street chain ( narrowest I could find).
More pics to come...

Looks awesome! I'm glad to see that so much more work is being on on her. Very impressive! I hope my little things done to the tank helped out. I'm sure it could be sanded/smoothed better. =^.^=
EDIT: Looks like you are at an Airplane Hangar. That's wicked.

Yup working in my hanger at the college where I teach.
The tank is in pretty bad shape so all the work you did was removed to access the total damage. Attempted to weld it up but there were so many holes on the bottom that another plan has risen.
The holes were patched with fuel proof epoxy and aircraft fuel tank sealer. The sides were faired and the emblem recesses filled in. The pinch welds were filled in flush andnow there is going to be 2-3 layers of carbon fiber layer up then clear coated. The same carbon fiber will be going on the front fender and tail fin.:dancing::dancing:
