Yeah forks nice and rusty behind the fork ears and shrouds. To be expected considering the age of the bike.

I'll get back to you on the shrouds as I'm getting some forks off James and I'm not sure if they come with shrouds.


Thanks

Made some more progress yesterday.
Mostly cleaning and degreasing the black parts of the bike.
[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Removed the shock bushes from the swing arm but have decided to leave the main swing arm bushes as they look in pretty decent nick.

Should be able to send the black parts away in the next week or so, then it's onto the next part of the job.

Thanks for the advice guys, I have an old switch unit from another bike somewhere. I'll give your suggested methods a go on one half each and see what results I get.

Hopefully the frame and swing arm will get degreased this weekend and I can box up all the black parts ready to be sent off somewhere for painting or powder coating. Undecided as to which method yet.

Oh and clean up the engine.

Busy times ahead.

That's good to know, I've got a few bits to order.

I'll definitely be going to Hamstreet Julie, it's a nice ride out from where I live. Hopefully my 550 will be running properly, if not it'll be on my Gpz 900.

Not single 350 part from what I could see Roy. Most of the decent parts were For British bikes.

A mate of mine has just had his crash damaged FZ6 repaired ay Motorliner. He is extremely pleased with the end result.
Might be worth a call.

Going to a jumble in the morning what do you want and will keep an eye out for you

Right hand switch gear would be useful, mine has snapped and bodged wiring as well as chewed up internals. No wonder somebody by passed the starter motor.

Bottom right lower engine bolt is missing.

Fork shrouds, mine are dented.

Front caliper back plate.

Front master cylinder.

Fuel tap/pet cock.

Fuel tank, mine has been repaired with some type of epoxy and has some really nasty silver stuff inside.

Just one of the above would be great.
Thanks Bitsa
