it's getting there

still have a few details to finish but the worst is over
this ought to blow my byte quota

 

holy cow does that look clean...

im not sure on the color (for ME) it looks like Dodges B3 (?) that Richard Petty used to paint his stock cars (before the orange and blue combo)...

something about the black out with the blue leaves me with something missing but i DO like the bike. what a huge hole there is after you take off the auxillary light and the square light with the horn enclosure underneath and the gauge package!

i like the gaiters on the forks...

good job executing this remake...

 

Looks good!
Looks like you did away with the cable actuated master cylinder Eh ?
And where'd ya find the Gators ?

 

Polock, I like the blue but dont cheasy it up by painting bolt heads and bar clamps with it - save the black for them. Same thing goes for the back fender and the back grab rail.

Are you leaving the motorcross bars on there or are they temps?

 

Dave, i got that color from a toyota fj, voodoo blue but the paint stores book also called it bright blue
i think it's missing something too but i need something to do this winter

rpgoerlich, i tried to use the original but it took 5 lbs of steel to mount, that one is from a box at the bone yard marked R6/YAM...?
gators are from e-bay

rob, when i come home from the paint store somethings getting painted !
that fender liner was it, the plastic part is in the can
MX bars stay, i just like the way they feel

 

Very nicely done Polock! The blue is gorgeous. Is the frame gray? Powder coated, painted?

BTW, if you want to paint more blue on it just give it a go! Blue is always good!

I like the look of the tube hanging off the side, definitely keep that!

Seriously though, I wish I could do something like that! (not the tube, the refurbishing lol)

 

wamaxim, the frame is gray, rustolium hammered finish 3 parts silver 1 part black
i think i'am done with blue but i had some paint in the gun and a old (70's)
bell helmet thats blue now and a eastwing hammer, now thats a paint test
Pseudonym, thats the fuel line and it's really hard to put back on so i left it there

 

Very nicely done, Mr P. Are you adding any embellishments?
Take a look at this pic', I have something like this in mind for the900, only red. Wiz.

 

wiz, i'll have to do something but right now it's got to get finished and a get few hundred miles on it
the texture paint on the side covers is going to complicate things, i'll have to work around that

 

Clean as a bean, Polock ,
so why the textured side covers again? Expecting some wear?

How big is the pile of leftover parts ? (oil cooler?)

 

Man that is one sharp looking bike. I would be proud to ride it. Good work polock!

P.S. Is that powder coating on the engine?

 

@ wizard, wow, thats what i was going to have my 750 look like, for the most part, it looks good

 

time, someone tried to strip the side covers with stripper and melted them badly so SEM heavy texture spray chip guard is on these
leftovers, speedo and a whole set luggage and front fairing minus the lowers, odds and ends, sorry no cooler
jarreddaughtry, the gray is Eastwoods engine enamel the black is Gunkote
schooter, thanks, think Ford tractor blue

 

Man Polock, that looks awesome! Great job, she's a beauty. I can't wait until mine gets to that stage. . . . .not anytime soon though!
