Tri.... scores one for the barn find column 79MK11

dont say that because that is the set i want to send Greg....i know...i know...it is bad ass with about 25 coats of turtle wax and the last one thick and let dry then buff it out by hand right over all the years dents and nicks ....looks like an old patina dodge dart or something....i half want to save it...but in reality when you see a new set done....every spec on the bike then needs furb and the old set will be forgotten ...it is only original once as a painter said
i have pile of goodies and disks ect..since before any other bikes showed up...this thing is long on deck for a full redo

chips in the paint will be much more agonizing with new paint!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :pinch:

sorry ,man!

just playin devils advocate :silly: .

greg will kill that paint job.
and once you go through it,it will shine like a diamond in goats ass!

can't wait to see what you do with it,and if i get to participate so much the better !

cool story about the picture and your mk aligning like that.

pure coincidence,don't think so.

Cosmic Voodoo!

is what i call it.:laugh:

got the tank off with lots of saved pics as i go for my records, pics for gas and elec connects.. ..if i unplug it..i am gonna mark it...never worked on the 80 i had for a while.....pretty fun ..battery out..ready on the charger with a new one..

we'll find out today if a gs1100 can sit without starting since 98 ...

pretty exciting stuff!!!!!!!!!!

i hope it busts off and pulls clean.

check out what i found a copy of...talk about law of attraction..intention/whatever...this picture

i found and printed on office paper about 5 years ago...i hung it on the back of my bedroom door at eye level so i would see it everyday before we walked out to start our days...]

I'm beginning to think my wife might be right, she always says, "what you think about you bring about".

YOU DA MAN !!!! my dream buy !! but Nope not Me... Great JOb..

no front brakes and i wanted to fix that while i had it on ground level again from last night,fogged window and 0 brake lever feel.....but found it full of dust..it had turned to crystals....got fluid after a rubber mallet..all the bleeder screws took the worst of the exposed iron stuff and are butter soft..vise grips and a new complete bleeders screw order list ,,,,but vise grips for now to complete the bleed...nature smoothed ...

had to pop off the bubble to bleed em...next is oil and and gas....lunche

got pics of the crystals

this is a first for me..window was fogged...got it all blown out and tried addning fluid...it bubbled and drank one fill then bubbled the second and still tons of effort no brakes...may try and fire it in the morning but i need a new master cyl it is popped ...got some new clean fluid out of the one side just from the filling of the lines and tub twice...........find a score on new front mstr

no use starting it( or not there yet/putting gas in the clean dry tank /no use trying) when i have to free wheel as rolling it around now..i want to be able to apply brakes if it runs

argh....

Dear lord that is some nasty stuff, certainly not what you want in there while trying to make the brakes work.

Thanks again for hosting my family and I, you were a gracious host and I wish we didn't have to run back to SoCal so soon. Perhaps we'll met again if we get a SoCal ride going. Hell, I bet I could talk Supercharged into having just me and him take the bikes out for a ride some Sunday to Santa Barbara or beyond

you def need fully functioning brakes before you take that old rocketship for a run.

once upon a time i had an old 89 gsxr 1100 that i got for some money owed.it didn't have any front brakes and i never would ride it.i figured it was a handfull with fully functioning brakes.much less my dumba$$ crawl on it and fly through some farmers barbed wire fence.
i do regret having sold it and never having ridin it.

Adam
was great of you guys to take the time...your wife was super cool too as you and i were like kids in a candy store with the bikes and such and just getting to meet..she was super cool...not all guys would get to talk bikes for an hour without getting the elbow...

Amy is the same way , she just does her own thing or listens in and later knows more than i do....

i sure wish i had hopped on the other bike and went to see if the bike died on you,but with your great kids and the little cottage and the indoor cat and the berry picking and the bathroom runs for the kiddies and the info the girls were laying on me i kept getting side tracked...i wanted to jump in the car and a couple times asked the wife if she thought you had your phone on you...ect..had a mental picture of you just down the road stalled but the high activity just passed the time fast...oh well..you got home and got to ride the thing sshitty as it is running now......i thought about what you were saying as i have been riding on that road this week a lot killer little set of twisty's..yes i believe a ride of the west coast kzr folks may be in order...bill you reading this...


p.s..not only had i not replaced that too long fuse that i put in that friday to limp home,but i had blown off stopping for gas to just end the work week and drive straight home,..then your nice suprise visit and i had forgot both,,, when i got on the bike the next day to go riding it was out of gas..i bet it was acting funny when you passed that truck...it was a lucky ride i guess....

Have you tried snorting that stuff Tri? :woohoo:
