well now the sheds full, the fj, the gpz 1000 and now for 200 bucks!!! a 1984 gsx 750 es. it has special features, like the extension cord (gray) that wires in the blinkers..... o and the guys i bought it off are magicians i telll ya!!! " mate she turns over just doesnt fire"  got home turned the key full dash lights turned the kill switch..... nothin so took the tank off, first thing i saw was the starter motor wires. melted. about 10 mm apart from each other. so they must be MAGIC!!!!! chuckles. put new rear wheel bearings in the fj, dropped the barrells off the ninja as well as the front end and have the gsx stripped up to the motor. going to need new spacers for all the suspension they are heavily brunelled, new roller bearings and the i will get to the wiring. aparently hasnt been started in 6 months.( guess why) but i m hoping the engine turns over, havnt got a manual havnt turned it over by hand at all its just waiting. BUT!!! all the pastics are good just need a paint job and the tank may need a bit of work. brakes dont work, rear brake lever was seized ( love lanolin) and calipers rusted  same with the front. doesnt leak oil and  its i believe 2 models before the one i REALLY  want..... the black silver 750 gsx katan with pop up headlight........ sighs ..... one day.....

Kopfjaeger,

OK, you've got lots of "projects" now.  Do you have any bike to ride?
I think that's normally the goal of these motorcycle projects :-)

BTW, I bet you're not married

Cheers,
Arnie
