Finaly

Well I Just Back Form getting My 83 900 seca. Drove 1350miles round trip to go get thing thing, And to visit my parents in south padre Island . Anyway It's a project but run's. Ill keep ya'll posted and get some pic's. Later John42 :lol: :lol: :lol: :!:

 

OK, you can't tell us you drove that far and NOT post pics! I thought 4.5 miles one way was a long way to go for a bike (ok, 3 in this case) but man!

 

Hope it lived up to what you were hoping for...

Re: Finaly some pics

Ok got some pics and also to exsplain why, I just wanted somthing nobody else has. The bike is complete but needs some tlc.

 

Looks good! Have you fired it up yet? Have fun with it!

 

I think it run's purdy good.But it needs the usual repairs like paint ,brakes,
And fork seals. It's got a four into one header not to loud but sounds good. I have road it down the street. But still waiting on tags $$$. I paid $900.00
for it.

 

Looks like a good deal to me for a rare bike. A nice addition to any stable Good for you. Look forward to progress reports.

Re: Finaly update

Just updating. Got it regesterd and titled now just need a day where the the wind aint blowing 90 ta nothing. Got a replacment front fender off of ebay comming and then paint the tail and sides the tank is almost perfect. But faded paint won't keep me from riding it. 8O

 

Take some advice from a 900 Guy who loves the Bike.

Carefully remove the two Plastic Air Scoops and place them in a nice box.
Only put them on for shows.

And, ... while the Bike's at the Show ...

KEEP AN EYE ON THEM !!!!

Nice ride.

 

Thanks for the advise on the plastic air scoops . I have have noticed theres none of those around for sale. I will find a nice box and some bubble wrap and put them away. I plan on keeping this bike for a while.

 

Thats a long way to go for a bike. It looks good. Have fun with it.

 

Finally got to take it out for ride. Had a blast and ran great! Now just waiting
on my front fender to get here and start painting. Just a quick paint question , Can I use one step acrylic enamel on the plastic or should I use base-coat/clear? I'm just painting the plastic not the tank. I would like to use enamel cause the sand&sun around here just ruins clear coat.

 

i used this stuff and it's primer, worked great
never had any luck with enamel
