Nice work Chuck. Enjoying following this build.
Rich...you're the only one here that saw the bike and rotted tank with your own eyes....what do you think of her now
It’s a bit better...
Seriously, for everyone who didn’t see the “before” state, this is an astonishing transformation.
Theres pics in this thread but to see ALL the crud and corrosion in person is another story.

Nice work, Chuck.
Thanks. Im getting better but still no Rembrandt.
From the other thread about the S that was for sale there are decals available for the Aussie market.
I vaguely remember a site member named Rudy from Kitchener Ontario being involved in getting these designed.

Everything has been final cleared. I found a spot on the seat trim i didnt like and sanded it out then shot primer. Gonna have to tackle it after work this week. Im really happy on how the parts look. Ill take more pics once they have cured a few days and i feel good about moving them out into direct sunlight.
Painted and cleared seat trim tonight. Thought i was gonna get away with just spot sanding a few dust nibs and polish out the parts......but nope!!! Just one tiny tiny sag in the right side of the tank. Can easily be sanded away. Heck i even debated in just leaving it completely alone because it looks that good. Guess ill be wet sanding this weekend....

Paint looks great!
Tonight i began the chassis disassembling. Got everything off except the front caliper and brake hose. Soon as those are off its frame stripping time and frame repainting. On the up sweep now....good times!!!!
So today I polished up the headlight trim, signals, and rear covers for the guages. Heres two pics of the chassis before tearing it down for the frame repainting. All the chrome shined up like day one.....amazing. Removed lower end from the frame as well.
First round of paint stripper got the frame about 95% clean. Spot applications tomorrow and it "should" be pretty well ready. May have to wire wheel a few spots too. Then i can pull the wheels, forks, swing arm etc etc and start the rebuild process.
Frames cleaned off. Still need to remove the front end and swingarm to strip these components. Ill post pics periodically but its the "same old same old" i always do. In the mean time, see thw parts wanted section for my need of a cylinder block. Thanks.
Today i removed wheels, forks, and swing arm. Then painted frame, battery box ( which had been sand blasted ), and all the other bits and pieces that are supposed to be black. Then i cleaned the headlight bucket and both sections of the rear fender. Used VHT plastic paint to paint these parts. Still need to rehab the swing arm and center stand. Soon be ready to start reassembling it..........
Still gathering a few parts.......
With deer season in the rear view its time to get back on the project. Today i sanded the rims and painted the center stand and swing arm.
