I bought it in October and worked on it throughout the winter. Its a 1990 600 that was red and runs really well just needed some TLC . The previous owner spray painted the fairings black while they were still on the bike so I had alot of clean up to do, but I only payed $400 for the bike.
I sanded down all of the plastic and had to weld some cracks. (By the way I got the idea of plastic welding from this site so thanks all) When it got a little warmer I primered and painted it in a dark shadow grey and flat black for the fender and bottom fairing. I also applyed some decals before I clear coated it.
I had to order mirrors, a windscreen,a bolt set for the body, and new brake and clutch levers. The hardest part was getting the mirror bolts because they were on backorder. I also had to replace the rear tire and rotor.
I finally got it all put back together and its ready to go for inspecting this weekend. Before and after pics below. Sorry for small pics.
