Harness and Stuff....

---

Well not to sit around, I got busy tonight, and started to bolt up some parts, torque them to spec, and I cleaned up, and greased up, and taped the entire wiring harness, so it's ready to go back on....need to clean the coils and leads, forgot all about them, but there is always tomorrow....

and of course a few pictures....

a bit more progress

---

Well after the fork oil fiasco, and it's all over the place, and now the forks have to be drained, and the proper amount has to be put in, but I will leave that for another day, mainly because I don't have anymore fork oil.....LOL

So I decided to move on, and do some more painting, I painted the inner part of the rotors, the foot rests and the swing arm....I really love this POR-15 stuff, it can be brushed on, so no over spray, and I can do it in the house, it stinks a bit, but I have the bathroom fan on which sucks out most of the smell and after a little while as the paint cures, the smell goes away, and all is good, if I keep the door closed leading to the basement I don't even get any smell of paint upstairs,,,,this is good, otherwise the wife would not be very happy with me......

So I took a few pictures of the parts they are almost dry at this time, and as you can see they come out really nice, well I am pleased with the results.....

and as always a few pictures....

sorry about the crappy pics, I will take some better ones, once I have the parts off of the drying bar......

Pipe and Things Part 2

---

Well as mentioned the exhaust arrived.....

I can tell you one thing, this guy know how to package, this thing went from one end of the country to almost the other, and it's in great shape, even the box stood up and took no abuse.

It probably took me close to a half hour to unpackage it all, and I will say I couldn't be happier with the purchase, it's in great condition, it will need a bit of sanding, and painting, but once done, it will look great on the FZ.....

I can't wait to put it on....

so a few pictures.....

Pipe and Things Part 1

---

Well from yesterday to today, a whole lot was done, some stuff was for the wife, have to keep her happy, and some was for me, keeping the project going....

first thing was the opening of the wall between the kitchen and the family room....this is to keep the wife happy, she likes an open concept, and since we moved in here last year this was on my, Honey To Do List, well it finally got done....









and in the middle of that I was able to clean the swing arm and get it ready for painting, which will happen in a day or 2



and since I am writing this today, I find out that the pipe I purchased off a guy (Bill) out on the west coast has been delivered to the house and is sitting in a box in the front hallway.....

read on.....

moving along

---

Well, just moving along, bit by bit, taking things apart and getting them ready for paint, finding issues, as you can see the foot rest has a break in it, but for now it will stay as is, I am sure it will hold up, I don't have the time right now or the cash to get it fixed.

So as long as I keep moving forward and doing something, it won't be long before it's done.....

and of course a few pics...

painting

---

Well, finally got around to a bit more painting, getting there, almost all is now done, and I will be able to start some serious assembly....

fork tubes are done, seals are in, so those I can assemble, as well as some of the other items can be put back on the bike....

There is still a long way to go, but I am happy with the progress so far...

and of course some pics....
