my 88 project cleanup!
well, it started with the bike being handed down to me for nothing. seems liek a good deal I cleaned the carbs (SEVERE NEGLECT! VERY DIRTY!) put in new plugs (the ends were actually disintegrating lol!) and it ran pretty decent. so now this spring I decided that haveing to cut a million zip ties to get to everything was silly so I set out to remedy that by repairing the old plastics. here are teh before and after pics. the whole process is in the photobucket album linked below. almost done, need to get the front fender white adn the top of the tank red and it will be done for now... redoing it again next winter once I am satisfied the panels wont fly off going down the road. not too bad for spray paint!
almost there!
and the dirty azz carbs, for good measure lol!
this is the whole album.....

the red and black was ROUGH! not NEARLY as shiny as it looks in the pic at all. the white was brought on because I bought the mirrors on ebay so I could actually see behind me, and decided to paint the rest lol! and in the pic with the string, I was repairing cracks and that held the cracks together while the jb weld cured. worked pretty well actually all teh new tabs are made from a sheet of metal. I cut small squares, cleaned the area well and used jb weld again. I tried to break them off after and it really took some effort, should hold pretty well heres hoping at least lol!

Cool. I was thinking you were doing something of the sort. Thanks for the idea on the tabs, I have a few that need fixing and I was thinking of using washers and a jb weld or some other sort of epoxy. My dad says 3M has some really cool **** that he sells I may use.
