Hey everybody...
Just joined and just picked up my new project...
1991 GSX 750.... (got her thursday night)
Then here is the gas tank, i dont know who did this or what they were tryin to do... but they didn't do a very good job at it....
So then i started pullin stuff apart to see if there was anything wrong that im gonna need to fix....
Thankfully i did start pullin stuff apart because i started finding things that were done to this bike that made me very uncomfortable....
SUCH AS THIS....
Yep, this fuse went out and instead of replacing it, like a normal person.... someone just put a piece of wire across the fuse...
AND this
Once again, a normal person would take out the old brake pads and put in new ones... nope, this person took out the old ones and put the caliper back on.... so the caliper is trashed and the rotor is almost trashed....
There were also no cotter pins in the front or rear axle bolts....
So after i saw these things, i decide this whole bike is gettin taken apart, becuase im not gonna be riding on faulty craftmenship....
So my parts list so far is:
-New rear caliper and brake pads
-New front brake pads
-Resurface all 3 rotors
-New plastics (eventually)
-New clutch and brake lever
-Gas Cap and housing
-Bunch of random bolts that are missing...
_and prolly a ton more stuff
Anyways, if anyone has any parts dealers or websites they really like to get there parts from, or if anyone has a hookup on parts please let me know, cause im gonna need a lot...
MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR BIKES OUT BEFOR YOU RIDE THEM... i sadly and against my better judgement rod this bike around the block when i got it home, and after i started takin it apart i was just really thankfull nothin happened while i was riding....
