New project

Wait till the Anorak's down the Classic Club see what you have done. Period parts.

Looks like those headers did the trick that's why I bought them for that modification.

But they're genuine Suzuki mufflers. Sounds like I'd better join the VJMC ... they let you in so obviously they don't care.

I was up near you today at the Gosford Classic Car Museum ... if you haven't seen it ... WOW.

[Irish in Oz]

Yes they let me in then made me a Rep to keep an eye on people not doing the right thing 

[Snapey]

Looks like I'll have to wait until you're out of the country before I apply for membership then.

See you on Thursday Jeffrey ... you can give me a guided tour of the things I have to do to keep the VJMC Anoraks happy.

Today I collected the Katana frame from the sandblaster's and was greeted with this. Apparently it's a common fault.

The bike won't be ridden in anger so it should be OK .... I hope.

Rusty sections all brazed up so it's ready for paint. The rotisserie looks primitive but works a treat.

[Blubber]

That indeed is a common place to rot. Not the first I have seen to have that.

Good you fixed it in time 

[Sweaty]

That's not a nice surprise Pete. Good to find out now & have it fixed though.

Today the frame got a couple of coats of paint before I got around to cleaning the engine & wheels in preparation for their paint. After lunch I gave the disc rotors a clean up grind.

Black primer now that's different, will look good with the wheels

Black? You know I'm colour blind Jeff ... is it really black? That prick at the paint shop told me it was grey primer. I thought it had too much gloss to be a primer. If people with no taste buy black bikes I suppose I can lower my standards and  live with a black frame.

Is it really black or are you taking the piss?

[KiwiCol]

It's black in the pic

The wheels ... what colour were they going to be Jeff? The candy red has been shelved.

I'm now painting them the same colour as the Suzuki stickers on the tank ... I'm told that's orange. With the wheel spokes being a nightmare to polish I'm putting a clear coat over the lot after the orange? paint goes on.

If you still have the contact details for the guy your bought it off Pete, give him a call and abuse him. I just hope he not one of those dodgy blokes who sells stuff & then runs of overseas.
