Pedro!'s rebuilding projects
Posted: Mon Jan 27, 2014 5:16 am
Gooday to all,
I live in Perth, Western Australia, last rode on two wheels over 20 years ago, i once bought a 78 GoldWing brand new.
Anyway i got the bug a few months ago to get back onto two wheels, so I bought a 75 GoldWing, stripped her down, then another 76 came up localy complete with another 78 as a parts machine, so i snapped them up too, the guy told me about this other guy who had a 75 Goldwing outfit, she jouned my stable too, then another 78 came available a couple hundred kilometers down the road, i own her now too.
so i am stripping them all down, picking out all the best parts for #1 bike, second best parts for #2 then #3 and #4 gets the worst parts.
the last 78 is going to be kept complete for a bonding project with my 8yo grandson when he shown interest. funny thing is the two 78 machines are 20 units different in the frame serial number, could have been made on the same day? the two 75's are 60 units apart in the frame serial numbers. it is like a big family reunion.
i have many photos to upload so i will do a few a day, and i have found that there is a 5 photo limit to each message.
this last break i did not take many shots, i was too dirty to handle my camera, i stripped down eight cylinder heads, cleaned up the valves, next break i will clean out all the ports and gasket faces.
so enjoy the show.
