My M900 Project... - Page 5

You've got it. Been a guitar player for many years. Time is just the issue as I get older... Used to gig a lot and was lead guitarist in a pink floyd tribute band.

I used the VHT paint. If you type in VHT paint in ebay it comes up. If you want colour specifics I can get you them. http://www.vhtpaint.com/
I baked the heads, covers and barrels in the oven at work but as you say little bits have chipped off where I've knocked them with a spanner or something. As careful as I have been it's inevitable.
This bike will be so looked after bit will be ridden also (in the dry). Hard to keep things perfect with UK roads... I have a Yamaha XT660X which I do my miles on and to play about.

Had some good progress today. Engine in frame with front and back ends on. Not long now...

Looks like you are making some great progress there mate

Is the silver frame made to look like aluminium or is it the camera?

Thanks mate. The frame was shot blasted, dipped and powder coated. It's like a metallic silver but quite subtle. I found it very difficult to match a colour similar enough to the stock colour.

Mine gets done next Wednesday in bronze powder. Going to be worrying of how close to original but looks close. Yours is looking great in silver. Mine was silver but had a hint of something.

Makes me think of getting mine done ally style by Aerocoat for a Spondon / Martek look farme

Spent some time today getting on. Carbs and fuel lines assembled. Brakes and clutch bleed and feeling good. Pretty much all done apart from the airbox and I need to solder up the heavy gauge battery wires. Hopefully try and start in on Tuesday...

Nice looking bike you have there, can't beat the original!

Great work.

Nothing in the world to match these original 900 works of art.

I finally discovered what I needed regards the rectifier mounting looking at one of your pictures. Thanks for that and its what I thought as in mine has obviously had a replacement one as yours has angular top and bottom and mine is rectangular and the hole centres are out hence mine has a bracket and triangulated fitting method. This is why threads need photos to help others out. You have my thanks.
Need to see the correct fitment of fusebox type screws to frame now.

No worries mate. Thanks for all the nice comments. Will post some detailed pics soon.
If you need any pics or info just let me know Albie...

Some of the older posts seem to have lost the pictures. Have they been moved or deleted?
