1975 GT750 Final Assembly: Part 1

Beginning the task of trying to remember how all the bits go back together.....

[@kenjarabek9901]

...great to see that you are back on the build.

[@JustFixIt99]

Trying to be anyways... it seems every part I look at that the previous owner touched is mangled and broken.. even the clutch basket (in an upcoming video) is out of round because of a hack repair.... this thing must have been ridden incredibly hard...

[@nor4277]

Your life would have been a lot Easyer if it was stored better,but you have done a amazing job with it so far ,looking forward to more videos ,best of luck to you

[@JustFixIt99]

I agree... but you have t take what you can get

[@nor4277]

Maybe you join one of those clubs,or not ,I been reading a lot of you tube ,about your bike ,they seem to be getting popular again,who new.me I glad to see it,.hopefully that means the value going up too for you.

[@nor4277]

Thanks I had no idea .

[@nor4277]

I have a question ,is a lot of the damage I have seen on this bike water damage,I have to say its looking real good so far ,I am looking forward to your,next video .

[@JustFixIt99]

Most of what I've come across as far as cosmetics go is moisture damage. Judging by all the pine needs and other crap I've cleaned off of it I think it spent a long time outside under a tree.....

[@nor4277]

Could I ask you a question ,have you ever heard of never dull ,its a product I used to fix a lot of surface problems

[@JustFixIt99]

You mentioned it to me once before. The answer is yes, I have a can in my garage. Great stuff, however its useless if all the chrome has flaked off....

[@Hoggdoc1946]

In stead of grease/dirt collector why not sand down and best you can, put a rust killer on it then paint with Rustolium paint.

[@JustFixIt99]

Paint likely wouldn't stick to the shiny chrome surface and would just be peeled\scraped off when they are slid into the steering head assembly. The grease protects the non visible areas so dirt isn't an issue since its again inside the steering head. I understand what your getting at, but I don't think it would work in this instance.

[@nor4277]

When you are all done,I guess you can join the kettle club I saw on you tube,it showed over a hindered bikes going for a ride,I never heard of them,we use to be called water buffalos.

[@JustFixIt99]

The kettle club is in the UK, they call them kettles, water buffalo is the north american name for them

[@nor4277]

You can put a rubber boot to cover it up

[@JustFixIt99]

The rusty section is covered by the headlamp brackets, so you won't see it.
