End Game

There never really is an 'end-game' with these sorts of things. Although the engine is all buttoned up and back in the frame, and it rides well and sounds great (!) I still have a few things to sort out but will leave them till after the riding season is finished.

One thing I will be doing is refinishing the tank as the paint is badly faded relative to the side covers, which as it turns out have already been repainted at some point in their lives. A very close examination showns they were originally gold coloured - whether this was done at the factory or otherwise is unknown, although the side badges appear to be original as do the clips holding them. The decal set is available from Reproduction Decals , so I'll be ordering that at some point. I have a set of knobs coming for the side covers which could be useful - the tool kit is mounted under the left side cover rather than under the seat as on the GT750's so having a way to easiy get the cover off could be handy !

Update - I was offered a price I could not refuse, so this bike has moved on to a new caretaker !
