Of course since I can’t do only 1 thing at a time, I picked up the fore mentioned ’77 Kawasaki KZ750 Twin:
Drilled 4 holes through the plug to fill with mig (or flux core) and butt welded the seam.
Then started the seat chop on the Connie:
Nice pics. Wish I could have made it. Had to work in the morning after 3 hours sleep. When the shift was done, took a nap and didn’t wake up until 3….
beautiful weather for the meet! Hope everyone had a great time!
Oh yeah! Got a smoking deal on a ’77 KZ750 Twin. Running and driving. Guys gave me 2 boxes of parts and parts bike to go along with it. Pics to come…
Been working on the ’87 Connie as well – got the welder put together finally and welded the loop together. It works very well.
it has that same door weatherstrip issue – lol. it’d be the second best sounding 4runner in Ontario!
I had to replace my condenser last year. Too many stones and crap from Ardbeg and such. the lines were ok though. I got the condenser from a mechanic buddy who gets parts wholesale – Toyota wanted an arm and a leg for it.
they’re not usually too bad for lines. Just be careful when you disconnect from your condenser – I broke both bolts off. Didn’t matter for me because I was replacing it anyway and had extra hardware…
I got rid of all my welding gear years ago. All my apparel came from former workplaces. Just a regular helmet – none of this speed glass… I was a production welder for a while and didn’t need to see where I was going – just knew…
come to think of it, I’m not sure if the kit even came with a helmet… I should probably check that.
Sadly I haven’t even opened the box yet. Been doing yard work while on holidays (tore out a 16×24′ deck).
I might putter around in the garage today after Finn’s buddy takes away the lumber.
