Just a follow up on this thread - I did indeed YOM plate the bike. I finally made them legal in march of 2018 had to have the proper , authentic plate, and it had to have a vintage 1979 sticker on it. (which i bought off ebay) it took 90 days, but they approved my plate and sticker as...

so this worked for a few days ... but then i got a lil' kickback so i'm gonna check the timing..... ill post back if it worked.

i will happily try!!

bike has the pamco ignition. very smooth advance going in both directions. the kick back generally happens when the engine has been running and then after a break. so if i go for a leisurely ride, then stop for a cup of coffee .... when i go to kick it- it kicks back when im pushing the...

it is year round. (i'm in LA so the weather isn't very dynamic)

hey guys - i have a 79 - its running amazing, BUT it kind of kicks back every once in a while. reading here it seems to be the timing is too advanced. my bike has the pamco also - some of the links included in this thread are dead. did the timing last fall and it seemed to be dialed, BUT...

and here she is. I may polish the side covers also but I'm loving the new tank and bars rides like a rocket ship.

this is what i used:

it was a strangely enjoyable experience .... and the linseed look isn't for me. it'll be okay i guess this is part of the joy of DIY

well - first time clear coating anything tbh.... also - the 2k stuff is dual action - three base coats then three activator coats. the base coats went on with ease then the activator coat came out twice as thick.... also i had the tank hanging. maybe i should have had it flat? im gonna...

so i hit it with 2k and over sprayed the activator !!!

here is how I put on the single decal: I measured straight across and then straight down from two points ironically one of my decals had gone bad! so the tank is Pittsburg stealers style also here is my garbage picked spray booth

hey guys! I did it! so now.... I'm thinking of putting these old yanaha decals on the tank before clear coating. 1. how do I measure that? is there a factory template for position of logo? 2. is it a first base of clear, then the decals, then more clear? (il m rattle canning it)

cool ill return it and get the right stuff.... i'd like to do this once!!! edit: California shoppers can buy this at Pep Boys (they seem to be ignoring the new prop)

hey guys - home depot didn't have the aircraft stuff - so i picked up the heavy duty paint remover, think that'll be okay? "klean strip premium stripper"

overalls... gloves. respirator... fan. ready to make this machine shine

how many cans of the 2k clear for a 77d tank, and two 79 special side covers?

looks dope!

I'll have to use that 2k clear then. loooks perfect!

i'm gonna borrow a circular sander but will probably use the heavy duty paint removal stuff as seen in the above youtube. i have taken finish off several guitars, and it was pretty painless.
