She's really coming along nicely. Looks completely different from where you started and in a good way.

it looks pretty good for as far as it's come, but when I look at the list of things still to do, well....still lots to do. Fortunately, none of it is all that hard to get done.
Headlight front turn signals instrument cluster speedo cable horn mirrors clean and seal tank fuel sensor in tank seat/base brake lights rear turn signals license bracket paint rear wheel finish exhaust number discs rear inner fender new tires |

Man, your pictures are starting to creep me out. I hope that your little one in the door of that last picture because if you look at the bottom picture of post #50 there's a ghost.

SHE'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since the tank cleaning/sealing isn't done yet, I swapped the tank off the 05 along with the battery. Put petcock on prime for a minute or two, then back to run. turned on the switch, pulled the enricher, only cranked a short bit before the first burst came out of the pipe. A bit more cranking and coughing and she settled into a high idle. didn't have to run long before I took it off choke and adjusted the idle to a pretty smooth output. I let it sit and run for a good 15 minutes or so as the antifreeze burned off the exhaust wrap. while on the center stand, I ran it through all the gears. everything engaged and shifted normal. then backed her out of the garage and went for a very short run up the street. she didn't seem to hesitate at all, but I didn't have her under much power though. I got up to third and gave her a kick. clutch started slipping. easy enough to replace. All in all, I'm happy as a pig in mud! 300 bucks, a bit of sweat equity and a few $ more. she runs! I've got about 700 bucks in it now. |

to celebrate, I ordered POR 15 components to clean/seal the tank. ordered a fuel float for the tank so I can get it all together when I get it sealed. (already have the petcock rebuilt), ordered some cheap round discs for the number plates. ordered a headlight and mounting brackets to fit the forks.
that'll keep me busy for a few weeks and then I'm going to take it to a local shop to get help with the rear end/seat. |

if at first you don't succeed......well.....
I tried some things with the paint on the tank and didn't like it a bit. decided to strip it all down. while uncovered, I did the por 15 cleaner and etcher last night. it's sitting in the house now to get it good and dry before sealing. after sitting overnight it's still damp, so may have to steal the wife's hair dryer and see if I can burn it up. |

cleaned and sealed the inside of the tank over the weekend. now 4 days curing time before going any further. baby steps.
I did order and receive a headlight. looks like it will fit nicely. trying to find mounts at this point. there's a set in Australia that I like. now looking at gauges. |

The tank liner will last a long time when done correct. I've done a couple and gotten over 10 years out of them. I'm sure the newer products work way better than the stuff we had back then.
