muffinman Posted November 29, 2011 #1 Posted November 29, 2011 Well after countless hours and I wont say how much money (dont want Mini to kill me) I made the blonde legal today got her inspected and new plates.We even went for a 80 mile ride in the rain just for fun.Shes running pretty good considering that she has been parked since 2008. After the next oil change or 2 I will think about painting her back to the original two tone blonde coloring.We decided that she has been such a good bike that she deserves to go back to oem paint.I replaced all 3 rotors with EBC's 4 new diaphrams,all new exhaust gaskets,all new black plastic around the radios new ebc brake pads,plugs,caps,wires,air filter,fuel filter assembly,new front master cylinder,new extra heavy windshield is on the way,I cant remember what all esle but I have been busy with her at every chance I had and today was the payoff. Almost got a ticket on the way to the shop to get Mini her lunch good thing it was raining or I would have been going faster.I do like the way she handles but the tires are fairly new and not scuffed in yet so I had to take it easy but there is always tomorrow. Jeff
Trader Posted November 29, 2011 #2 Posted November 29, 2011 Congrats! Gotta love blondes!!! My personal Fav.
Pam Posted November 29, 2011 #3 Posted November 29, 2011 Lookin good Jeff, It is a great feeling when something you have spent time on comes through. I have been rebuilding a 74 charger for the last 3 or 4 years. It was in pretty poor shape when I got it. Last week I had it inspected and she passed. Put a set of plates on her and drove it home. Now for the paint. It is hard to find someone to paint a car/ congrats
oldgoat Posted November 29, 2011 #4 Posted November 29, 2011 looks verry nice i can send ya a 1984 to work on next spring if your bored LOL but i would like it back
Snaggletooth Posted November 29, 2011 #5 Posted November 29, 2011 Nice job! It's great to see another blonde back on the road. But I might just bit a lil biased. Maybe.....just a lil.
DragonRider Posted November 29, 2011 #6 Posted November 29, 2011 I thought for sure I would have the beast roadworthy again before you got the blonde ready, well guess i better get on the ball soon as my wrist is all healed....................
Iowa Guy Posted November 30, 2011 #7 Posted November 30, 2011 For a blonde, she looks pretty good. I myself, am partial to the old blue hairs. Iowa Guy
ADC Posted November 30, 2011 #8 Posted November 30, 2011 Glad you finally got her back roadworthy Jeff!!
Yammer Dan Posted November 30, 2011 #9 Posted November 30, 2011 I got two on the road. A 1200 and a 1300. Need a couple days on that 1200. Good to see her back Jeff.
mbrood Posted December 4, 2011 #13 Posted December 4, 2011 I always feel a little sense of accomplishment when I park in the garage and see that she REALLY needs another good cleaning... those baths I don't mind a bit, she earned it.
mini-muffin Posted December 4, 2011 #14 Posted December 4, 2011 Fooled again by the title........ Wow I have no idea what fooled you Tom? What could you possibly been thinking? Margaret
CaptainJoe Posted December 4, 2011 #15 Posted December 4, 2011 So I guess the next post will be "Bathing the dirty sexy blonde in the garage"?
mini-muffin Posted December 4, 2011 #16 Posted December 4, 2011 Nay she'll be bathing in the great outdoors. Gonna be 70 this week here. She might even been nekkid. Margaret
