PROJECT 1100

So, have you got 96 for sale ?

 

Bought 4 of these you guys sure know how to spend my dough. (

 

i remember one of those light clusters you did looked beautiful, i expect this one to look the same

 

I was much younger then.

 

wasn't that long ago. take that one over and compare it to your 900

 

Not to many left. Having 4 bikes to dress up I have gone through over 50 of them. The XJ and XJ 11 have at least 20 of them each, rear drive, head, exhaust mounting, kick stand,shock mounts for starters. Then the Venture has some also. Iod have some left.

 

Hey Wiz, you can "re-print" the white lettering Polock's on about; not "re-paint" but "re-print."

I bought a cheapie rubber stamp set at the craft store, it was an all-caps alphabet set. I chopped up all the A's, H's T's etc., and got a bunch of little rectangular stamp pads. Painted them lightly with flat white auto touch up paint, and re-printed the lettering. The key is using little enough paint; better to build up three or four stampings ten minutes apart than get too much paint on and it runs down and fills in the letters.

You can make the raised white lettering look like new.

 

Meters & motor BSB.....

 

Seat pan has a bit of metal worm & the cover tabs were gone, so I drilled what solid metal was there & inserted some brass tacks, held them in place with masking tape, then used GRP tape & resin, on the inside.

 

The master of CBE.* I bow to your ingenuity.

Thank you, Fitz, I think, that pan will be good for another 30 years.

 

Motor ASB

 

Motor back in frame.

 

Valve cover baked to a turn.

 

"The myth buster" lol, please tell me that's new

 

What, the valve cover, Rudie ? that's 30 years old same as the rest of the bike.

 

Your sig. I've been following your project, and just noticed that in your signature.

 

gday wiz, i have to ask, what did you do to get the motor back to that, ? did you blast it with a soft medium? do tell, thanks

 

forgot to add, with my rd350 project,im at the stage to getting the cases all blasted etc and have been quoted 350 to do this by vapour blasting, but im painting it all again in black,it seems a waste to go to this expense just to repaint.
