 :) I don't know how to tell you all...and I hope this doesn't shock, (or bore), you all...but..............

Kev10104 (my apprentice!!!) and I picked up #14 yesterday!!!!! A Star Silver...yes another one...with low milage and a Wolf exhaust on her from the Port Dover area...8)

Apart from a really good clean up, she needs: a left side top battery cover, which I have in Star Silver!! A new battery ::) new tires ::) and a new stator...more to come, once #12 goes to her new home ;)

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!

'82 Vision, Pearl Orange finish, lots of up-grades!!!

YellowJacket!

Y'all need to come down her end get Lucky's before its gone.  It needs a good loving gome.
I'll provide the room and board too.  :-)

He'l probably switch over to the SECA's as some parts are swappable but not a whole lot.  Or maybe he'll restore vintage FZR's

;) 8)
Keep it upright and she'll always be happy!

I would REALLY like to have some exhaust specs off of that wolf system! if you could take a clo0thing tape measure and take some measurements it would be GREATLY appreciated!
Loves to over think things.

YellowJacket!

If I had any money left the guy that did my bag mounts could do a custom exhaust for me.  He does them all the time for the bikes he builds.  Very sweet looking setups too.

 :) Monday I moved her, #14, out of my neighbours garage and into mine so I could start on the road to getting her "done"...so to speak!!

I picked up a new battery and float charger for her on Saturday, when I was over in Niagara Falls New York  8)

The gas tank and plastics are all with vadasz1 for a paint over...(Silver Metalic) 8)

Side stand, footpeg brackets, top triple tree, handlebar risers, etc, are all going into a box to get sand blasted after which I'll repaint them Gloss Black... 8)

Her Wolf exhaust system now resides on "The Mistress"...so a set of Black MAC's will be installed...eventually ;)

I think you can get the feel of were this Vision, looks wise, is headed, can't you??

Let the fun begin... :o ;D :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:... ;)

Wow, Tiger... Just wow..

14. I can't even imagine that. Best of luck, though from your track record, you may just put it in a box until you get a vision that needs it. I can't wait to see another "Tiger Special" roll out!
Younger, but just as smart. Really.

Tiger

 :) Last night #14 was brought back on the rebuild line... ;)
   
I picked up the newly painted, Silver metallic gas tank and plastics from Robert...really nice job buddy, real nice...last week and put them down in the basement apartment for safe keeping, due to all the other Vision work going on in my one car garage of late :o ::)

The left side cover came off and...another stator was installed to replace the crispy oem one, the starter clutch "fix" was done along with the 46MM nut being torqued down and the two lock tabs being peened over. A new side cover gasket was made and the old girl was put back together. The R/R was installed on a bracket coming off of the rear fender, just above the swing arm (left side) and hard wired up to the stator, etc.
A new set of taper steering head bearings were installed along with a rebuilt set of front forks, front wheel put back on along with the newly painted top triple tree and handle bar risers. Handle bars are installed too...but I need to pick up a set of grips as the old oem ones were kaputski ::) So now she is sitting back on her wheels with a nice, new, rebuilt front end to her 8)
The front and rear foot peg brackets, now sand blasted and repainted were installed. New front foot peg rubbers replaced the old rotten oem set and good but used ones sit on the rear end.
The Starter motor was rebuilt last week and is now installed. New spark plugs/wires and caps installed along with new starter solenoid to starter and battery to ground wires...

Along ways to go...but she should be ready for a new home in a couple of weeks time... 8)

8).......TIGER....... 8)
