Recommended Posts

Posted

Back after some issues with part to arrive and fitting.
The engine is now in place but I haven’t still finished the cylinder head.
The front and rear suspensions is now in place with tailor made spacers and bushings.
Rearsets has arrived as well but still need some fitting to put it in place.

 I still need to finish the cylinder head.

Brought also a GSX750F 89” engine as it was cheap, but the guy who sold me it told me that it’s was leaving a lot of oil smoke.

 I have opend it up and it’s need pistons sonI leave this one for future projects

Once I begun sanding the faring I discovered that this was painted leaving the stickers under the paint.....

So I had to remove all layers of paint leaving a horrible surface...

Once this was done I base coated it and sanded it again with 180 sand paper, this afternoon I have base coated again I hope this will be enough to get a nice finish at this old plastics

How did the Karcher high pressure washer perform to lay the paint on?

:P

 

Nice progress (y)

Better then using the roller:-)

This afternoon I picked up the cylinder head and bolted it on..

I still need to give the the head bolts the correct torque....

After dinner I’m gone study the workshop manual

From a genuine 1100 Workshop manual, pages 3-64 and 65 . . . . . 750 should be similar I guess

One cuestión?

What differences is there between the long stroke engine 85-87 with the later one?
The first is marked 59 and the second 80, I suppose it’s about the stroke but are they interchangeable?

 I have been measuring them and I can’t find any differences!

Here comes a stupid story:
My head light cover arrived today in good condition from UK, my intelligent brother in law picked it up an trove it over my hose fence in front of my garage, then my wife came home and run  the car over the packet...:ph34r:

To be honest I have to laugh about it just not to pull the hair of my head (impossible as I’m bald-headed)!

I recibe the faring and cowl made of glass fibre last Friday.

As I didn't like the shape of cowl I started cutting until I was more how I like it.

I had to mucho work today and didn't have to much time to spend on the bike.

what I did do is I wrapped the aluminium plate that I cutted out as support for the electrical components and head light with heat shrinking Intercept preservation material.
