Let me guess, Por 15 Black engine paint and Por -15 Hard nose light grey on the frame?
If not looks great anyway. The polished cases look really good.
Nice work. Are you going to need to replace any major faring parts or is it all restorable?
Nice work again.

What started out looking like such a Buck Rogers machine when they were new, sure has stood the test of time. That was a visionary design that so many people (at the time) panned, but a bike I always thought was very bold and daring. Still looks great, and that's really a nice example.

I noticed that too. I presumed he's going to hook an aftermarket oil cooler in there. Building this bike for some serious riding huh Phil?

yeah ...but the 1100 motor already has all the necessary plumbing facilities in place ...its a case of installing a diversion bung to make it work efficiently ....that just seems like trying to reinvent whats been provided..

Why come when I look at the oil filter cover I feel like someone is flipping me the bird two times, Oh stupid me, I'm a cop, duh.
Excellent word there sir, love the detail, and attention wish I had the time and resources to do the same. It should be outstanding can't wait to see the finished product.

The oil cover plate is glass blasted! When I finished it I thought it looked great and didn't want to paint it black like the rest of the motor.
It also comes standard with an oil cooler of which I mounted today, I just need to get the lines hooked up.
The wiring is nearly done, just a few wires of which I can't locate the female connections, but will prevail with that.
The biggest nightmare with this resto was the damn ffffffff carbs, when I stripped them down and separated them the choke plungers were COMPLETELY SEIZED inside and refused to come out, after many, mant attempts to get the plungers out I ended up drilling them out with extreme care not to mark the inside of the aluminum carb bodies.
Once out I carefully glass blasted them at 60lbs as not to damage the internals, which took forever, but they have turned out MINT (will post pix soon of them)
The paintwork was done at BMW (the same place my Yamaha RZ350 was done) and sure looks great.
The one thing that ****es me off, There's approx $2400 in parts (not including labor) and when it's done it will be very, very close to showroom condition, I spent double that on my 81 GS1000 and countless hrs doing every screw/bolt including full strip down of motor and yet I can't sell it! if it was a kawasaki it would have sold the 1st week!
Anyway, just venting!!!!
Will post pix up this week of the progress......
Thanks for the kind words of my work, it means a lot to me......
