Yep yep...

You must be so happy Freddy :) Sounds good too.. now for you to enjoy the wind rushing by you.

As most of you know, this has been aproject of love and hate... lol...
I have been working on this project for the last 10 months or more, putting hundreds and hundreds of hours, and also making attention to detail to the forefront, inspired by my gixxer W/C buddies...

Like many people in here, that have been doing projects for a few years, I take a bow to you!

For all the people in the W/C forum, I dedicate my work to : Dave, Mike, Bobby, Dan, Danny, Glenn, and all the rst of you that were there when I needed it!

All that said, I still have quite a few bugs before I go riding, and will probably figure those out by next week:
My light were working a few minutes before, now a few minutes later: No more...
Checked connectors, and stuff... nope...

I still need to fix the seal on the water pump: I added some bond to the o ring , Still leaked, then took that off, and I put some high temp silicone I had (big bloob, and waited 3 hours... still leaked... pffff......

Oh well , will get an o ring via Suzuki on wednesday...

My neutral light plays silly games it goes on where it wants to : 1st, 4 th... lol...

Couple of pics for your enjoyment... Now time to clean up... the house is a mess back there...lol...

Fredybender,

That thing looks clean and mean! That paint job looks great; like it's soaking wet. Bike sounds good to. My hat's off to you; I gave up on my basket case, but you DID it man!

She sure is purdy,and clean

Congrats Fred,Now if I could just get that video to play

GOOD JOB Freddy...sounds healthy...and standing tall....weird having that feeling in the pit of your stomach when all the b.s./crying/throwing stuff around in frustration/blood/sweat...and money....all come together...i'm happy for you bro!!

Freddy thanks for the Kudos
It was all you man .
Bobbychet

All me, but without support, and help: All out the door !!! lol...
Brian, slut, and everyone else, you know who you are... thanks for the advice, pictures, and determination, to make me spend as much as I could, and still find some more space on my credit cards....lol...

just look forward to when you actually saddle her up...it'll be worth the pain...lol

She looks and sounds great. Good job.:cheers

Fredy - you must have a few pennies invested in that baby

Hokus2,that has to be the best avatar I've ever seen:thumbup

Dave

what kind of air filter setup is that? and can i get one for my 750?????

naked=sex

BMC 3092 filters with a stage 3 FactoryPro jet kit

i agree, that paint looks wet!! i cant wait to see it completely back together. you are inspiring me to finish my bike, although i still need a couple parts to finish. i dont kow if you did this, but you might go thru all your electrical connectors and put grease on them. i hope you get the electrics sorted out. i know that stuff drives me crazy. keep it up!

wow man sounds greate....... now to see it in 1 piece and maybe evne dirty!... u know..... cuz u went on a nice 500 mile weekend tirp on it!!!... good work!

FredyB,
Fantastic job! Love the style and the grace. You have a fine ride.

Kuddos to you! Looks and sounds invigorating. I hope mine comes together soon, I can't take it anymore.AAAAAAAArrrrrrrrgggggggggggggg!!

Number one, welcome to GDC!
As for your question, those are BMC filters (they are model 3092)
Those fit better than the K&Ns ...But if you go that route, you will need stage 3 carb kit also...
Fred

Oups... didnt read through the whole thread, before replying...

Yep : dielectric grease on ALL connectors !!!

The look on my face when I will go riding:...... Priceless....

That is nothing compared to us guys that have been on GDC since 2002
I shudder to thing how much I've spent.
I'd need a accountant to figure it out.
Bobbychet

I Know what you mean... And I beleive that without a doubt...
Its just to show, that everything adds up so quickly...lol...
Never thought I would sink twice the price of the bike into it, when I bought it...11877
But its only money...And every time I see stuff for the bike, I get the same feeling like when I was a kid, and just got my allowance;, ready to go get some chocolate bars, and penny candies...lol...
Fred

well now i have estimates for mine lol

That is SO true!

Man, I always miss the good posts when I'm outa town!
That bike looks tough, Fred. Almost a shame to put any body work on it!
You did a lot better job polishing than I did. Looks great.
I have that neutral light thing too on my new motor. I think the sender housing is just a bit too worn on the back side. The rod tends to put a gouge in the plastic. My light will come on if I rev the bike a bit - vibration sets it. Or maybe the rod/ ball is sticky?
Anywho, glad you stuck with it, and wish I could see it up close.
That's still a 750 only with some head work, right. Which reminds me I need to get with you about that.
