yeah , the idea is to suggest other alternaitives to the suggested ones -so
by mentioning welding means buy a new one

Getting the motor cleaned up.

I can tell you that the factory grey paint is very thin and comes off fairly easily with a little paint remover.

In the May issue of Performance Bikes, they had a piece about Guy martin's Martek-framed 1100 turbo. He had stripped the paint from the engine and left it bare - it looked pretty good, so you may want to check it out before popping the top off that rattle-can of black paint!

I might have to make a visit to see Rick... and give him some "spiritual" advice. Y'know... spirits?... in the brown bottle type?!

Come on over anytime!

Got the engine back in today!

Yep rattle can semi-gloss :biggrin

Now where did those bolts go...

Mocked up the exhaust 'cause I had to install another nut-sert for the muffler bracket.

I will take a wire wheel to the header before installing it for good

Starting to look like a motorcycle again LOL.

Yours looks great, so you went in the right direction IMO. Mine at the nude motor point, and finished with paint.......but I did a complete rebuild if you recall (http://www.gixxer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=268644&highlight=engine+resto). :cheers Mike

Ya that looks great!

For the '90 1100 i'm gonna repaint the engine the right colour. But as this is a frankengixxer I took more artistical license in colours.

cheers

Got the front fairing stay back from the powder coaters.

Started to tidy up the wiring at the ign module.

Lots of room for the K8 shock...

Gonna get started on the battery box this weekend.

cheers

Intguy · May 1, 2011
