I seem to have pretty good adhesion. 2006 gs 500 streetfighter 1982 gpz750 breathed on wreck 1985 gpz750 Kz 650

Thanks I have it torn down again I'm gonna finish the frame this week then that will be done. Still need to get the subframe welded up. Just trying to get cheap stuff out of the way so i can save some money for the motor bits. It's coming along pretty quickly. I am having trouble staying busy I just have all these loose ends that kinda overlap each other so it's tough trying to just get things finished.
Peace

well I reblasted my upper cases and tried to paint them tonight but the weather was messing with the paint I'll try again this weekend. So I moved on to mounting my rearsets. I have them half mounted I just drilled a hole then welded a nut over the top. the bottom will have a threaded plate made and welded to the frame. but heres some pics of it.

I am considering ditching them or making new smaller ones with speed holes drilled into them. 2006 gs 500 streetfighter 1982 gpz750 breathed on wreck 1985 gpz750 Kz 650
