Title: Cleaning Up Thuddds' M750 Post by: Thuddds on September 16, 2011, 09:37:54 PM Here's my 2001 M750. She's got a JMC swinger, Ohlins steering damper, Dynojet kit, Termi aluminum cans, K&N, Joker Machine mirrors, Buell windscreen, and some Road Racing aluminum & carbon fiber bodywork. Probably some other stuff I forgot about.
I bought her new in '01, and grew weary of the maintenance. A buddy said he would buy her, but never paid up, so I'm bringing her back to Ol' Thuddds' standards. I don't have much for before pics. The carbon was fading and oxidized, my buddy did a mediocre job painting the side cases, original decals faded, switches faded.... Older pic: (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y134/Suprachrgd82/utf-8BSU1HMDAwNDUtMjAxMTA0MTUtMTYxMS5qcGc.jpg) So, off comes the carbon for a fresh coat of clear, new decals, and a good scrubbin'. (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y134/Suprachrgd82/utf-8BSU1HMDA0NTctMjAxMTA4MTctMTgxMy5qcGc.jpg) Lots of sanding: (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y134/Suprachrgd82/utf-8BSU1HMDA0NTgtMjAxMTA4MTctMTgxNi5qcGc.jpg) I love these: (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y134/Suprachrgd82/utf-8BSU1HMDA1NzctMjAxMTA5MTYtMjExOC5qcGc.jpg) Fender stripe to match: (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y134/Suprachrgd82/utf-8BSU1HMDA1ODAtMjAxMTA5MTYtMjIxMi5qcGc.jpg) Post up some ideas and opinions. She needs to look good again. |
