At this rate you'll be done before Christmas!

hah.. it would make a cool present for the girl, lol.

Nah, it's all slowing down now.. some of the parts i need to buy are slightly expensive.. and I got a lot of cleaning of all the old crap.. looking like the whole project will cost around 2 grand now

I'm with ya. Trying to stay under $1500 myself (hence no powdercoat).

Any updates?

Nothing worth updating about.. I put the new gaskets on the engine, everything looks in order. Gotta get the suspension powdercoated and some stainless steel bolts, nuts, and screws to replace the old crap. The engine is sitting in the living room however.. quite the cool look for the bachelor pad!

I like the retro too!!! You are in for a a lot to restore and fix. I did this 4 years ago with a 1984 yamaha 400 maxium for my first X. Fun bike, but tons of work. Carbs came a part 7 times and the tank had to be acid dipped and welded up from the rust inside. So much work. She only rode it for 6 months before she was screaming for a newer bike. he finally got an 2003 copper SV650.
