What did you do with your XS today?

busy busy busy! picked up two project ninja 600s from the late 80s, one of which is close to drive ready just needs carb work and some wiring done up front. Also picked up a new bike to get me around this season, a honda superhawk 996! boy is she fast and solid on the highway, big improvement from the maxim! Probably going to sell the completed maxim to a close friend of mine for him to learn on this summer. Empty pockets, full shop

I put the tank back on and pushed her into the driveway to see the sun.
I also ordered the new tires and uni pod filters.

Nice trailer! Bike looks good!

Thank you DMW. I get a lot of smiles and thumbs up for that trailer. I own a stucco company and drive a new Dodge HD. It's basically a rolling sandbox I tow around. It's my Cummings powered F150. Lol

Looking real good. How's the seat coming?

That looks so HOT! Love the mods. Front brakes make it look as if it can stop faster than it can go

Thanks . Seat pan is at the upholsterers we are just waiting to see how I mount the rear light/plate assembly to figure out exactly how the material will be fitted.

I've been away on holiday so I haven't had the chance to get to my bike for a while, but most of the parts I've been waiting on came in while I was away. Fork gaiters, new cloth-wrapped spark wires, braided steel brake line, rear brake shoes, and handlebar electronics. Hopefully be installed some time this week.

Picked up base clear acrylic enamel paint (PPG) for my 83 maxim. Decided on a midnight blue base layer, with a metallic gold accent pinstripe and outlining that will compliment the blue. Took along time to get the tank to bare still, but here it is! Thanks to some 240 grit on the DA and aircraft grade paint stripped and scotch brite oh, and I painted the engine block! Plasti cote high temp oem grade aluminum paint! Looks good I think

Nice, that's my daily bike too.....mine in red and my mates in yellow.

2 coats of metalized body filler for the dents, 3 coats of finishing putty, 2 coats of epoxy primer. 3 coats of high build primer, and 3 wet coats of PPG Delfleet Evolution in Black. There you have a summary of my evenings this week so far. Now to wait for the paint to fully cure before wet sanding and polishing.

The wait will give me time to get other things completed before (hopefully) getting the bike back together on the weekend.

Patience, must have patience...

If I could round up a couple guys, both at the same time, I could get my bike out of the basement and get it in for a safety.
Getting it started is kind of a priority right now too.
