My GPz600R
Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2016 12:43 pm
Well almost finished. After many years I have got my act together and almost completed my GPz60R resto. I can honsetly say I haven't seen another one on the road since I bought it Still a couple of things to sort and then it's all the fiddly adjusting you do at the end of a resto to get things working right. I have attached the beofre and after photo. Biggest issue besides redoing the wiring loom which had suffered a meltdown in the oil pressure switch wiring was that one of the piston skirts had fractured requiring a full engine rebuild. I didn't replace the main fairing but had the side covers and rear painted. The tank was also repainted and took the guy 18months to do excellent results but - I don't use him anymore needless to say. The pipes have been powdercoated for the black and I ended up painting the end cans - I know they were supposed to be polished but the condition of the pipes was average and I was very keen for an original system. I think it looks OK. Now to get it running which is this weekends project.
