Today was officially the best day I have had since Christmas. Winter has been long and I have been extremely bored and frustrated. So much to do but lacking the space to do it. But today I finally got the project bike out of storage and some good progress has been made....as far as tearing down that is. I know I said I wasn't going to share any pics until it was done, but what the hell. Here is the pic of the exhaust for you KG....as well as the mess I have to work with. This was a good day. I feel so much stress relieved. I feel my motivation is back. Lost it there for a while and getting a late start. Thank god I have the other Kat to satisfy my riding.
Here is bike coming out of storage...what a mess.

Here is most of it stripped down.

everything but the forks and the engine...they come off tomorrow.

all the stuff that came of...there is more, but they were removed last fall and the body has been painted.

brake calipers, shock, levers and controls, brake pedal, wiring harness, kickstand, coils...etc, etc.

all tucked away until it comes out piece by piece to be reconditioned or painted, polished, crhrome or whatever.

the exhaust I picked up from the deal with Waltari

The can....I am going to polish it up and possibly maybe powdercoat it with highheat powder. Not sure of the color yet....but that will be another post to show the progress and how it is done.
