Maybe its completely assembled ..to get that just right Kodak moment , eh ? <wink>Adam E. wrote:By the way, if that was your engine you'd have a tough time getting it back in the frame with the carbs and airbox on top!

I couldn't help myself.
Grabbed the carbs for the 79 and put them on.
Had to see what it will eventually look like:
The Kodak moment:
..aaaand I'd really like to get this engine back where it belongs
so I can have a go at it.....fastlike.-)
So maybe I'll use these carbs for now, while getting the real ones ready.
Yeah I know: the 79 carbs aren't really suited for this engine
....but
from the back.
It really is an impressive piece of machinery

Thanks Q and RR
Guess I have too much spare time right now...that's all.
RR; sorry about the delayed delivery,
but your 3000$ check bounced
:-P
Octane
...ohhh no!
I just realized that there no way I can put such
a fresh looking engine into such a tired looking frame.
Guess I have to do the frame as well.....................?

WOW. My limited grasp of the english language and this set of smilies doesn't come close to allowing me to express my awe. WOW will have to do...I bow to your Xtreme talent! Can't wait to see the frame transformation.-

I've decided to just touch it up for now, as I want to get this thing moving,
before the season ends.
So back in with the engine...fix like 3 dusins of other tingies...and off I go!
The frame really should be stripped down completely and send out for powder-coating, and that will have to be a winter project.

..took a look at the radiator.Everything's well and fine inside.
No build-up of dirt, rust or lime or whatever..good,
but rust is beginning to take hold on the outside
..gotta stop that!
Took the whole thing apart:
..cleaned
..de-rust treated
..cleaned
..de-greased
everything recieved a shower of primer
even the 'water hose wire guards'
and I decided to go for a top coat
same as on the engine.
Why ?....donno...maybe because I haven't see seen it on any other GLs.
Heck...I gotta come up with at least one original styling idea
after taking so much inspiration from other bikes in the gallery .-)
and I do think it looks pretty cool
I did paint the cooling 'fins' black though. Something to do with
black helps dispersing the heat better.
For the 'tank' and sidecovers I'll go for a
very-dark-grey-with-a-shade-of-green,
(Black just was too..I-dont-know....elegant)
and a very yellow stripe, so things don't get too boring.
I've taken inspiration from some photos of seventies racing-bikes.
Doing a bit of experimenting with pin-striping:
That's not too bad
maybe a 'racing' 'go-faster' stripe ?
...man! I gotta get that engine back in there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
