Thanks Aussie I still study at University in Amsterdam, Stupid Sociologie, liked that 5 years ago, pretending to be smart...Still have to finish it, I HATE IT!!! Makes me want to slash my wrists too!!. Working on my bike is like the most (well almost ) fun thing to do in the world, I totaly lose feeling of time, only when the sun sets or hunger will get me back to reality.

I will take a look at you bike :D
(I must have some family members in OZ who migrated overthere in the 50's from amsterdam..Never know we might be family )

Getting those broken screws out is going to be fun. If you can find a shop near you that does EDM work (Electron Discharge Machining) maybe they can burn them out.

Hey, I'm Italian. Of course my wiring looks like spaghetti.

The only other way which might work is to place a nut over the remains of the broken bolt or stud and weld it together from inside the nut.

This should protect the alloy, and once the stub is welded to the nut (you fill the nut with weld) you can usually just turn it out easily, as the localised heat helps break the bond quite effectively. Should be the cheaper method.

Best of luck with that!

This is an excellent resto to follow. Very organized. Try flapwheels for sanding on the frame, they remove less metal than a sand disc. Later.

Thanks! I put the cylinder heads away for a time, gave me to much emotional stress
dont know whats best yet, just buy a other pair or change the 6mm bolts by 10mm bolts

Now it is carb time



Even forgot to photograph 1 tiny copper screw







I turned the adjustment screw 1,5 turns from totaly close, but what is the best average number of turns? This must be way too lean I quess, an GL1000 engine has to run quite rich doesnt it?

Great attention to detail - keep up the good work.

Great work Feraz,

I'm stalled right now with my yellow bike but going do some work today. Just need the weather to hold so I can pull another bike out and have room to put the motor in.

Your yellow panels do not look that bad. I was lucky that my wife does restoration on art and has an eye for matching color. There is some yellow tractor paint that matches well here at a tractor supply place. What we did is used a filler that she uses for fixing ceramics or you can us a automotive body filler, sand it, primer it, and then she used airbrush the yellow over area. After that we wet sanded everything and put on a automotive clear over panels.

Keep up with the good work.

Don, I dont have a message from you All I know is that the Honda Company called it 'Y-34 Sulfur yellow'.
I still want the information, I put all of it in my GL1000 map

The problem with my panels especially the tank sides, have paint chipped off in the corners al the way to plastic.
This is why I bought another pair (black) that will be painted blue-greenish.
Once the bike is finished and I have some decent chrome fenders, I will work on the yellow panels :D

LOL Mark, I think your wife is the only one of all the members who has worked on YOUR bike.. Lucky guy!! :D
At last a woman who understands.. that 76' cafe is beautiful btw.

Not a bad plan at all to use those other panels first, most of us improve each time and that way your Sulfur panels will have the experience of a more practiced craftsman. Are you going to power-coat or rattle can the frame? Rattle can proves pretty durable if the prep is meticulous.

Motorcycle restoration is our hobby and we pay for that. But in the end of wrenching, the bikes are free!

Nah, my wife made the seat cover for my Wing. Also one of my race bikes. And another bike I did to resell. She is very good at making seat covers.
