yea sorry about that
most impresive was 76 switch in original box
although headlight in original wrapping bought tears to my eyes-after believing this part was not obtainable
note that lever
cheers steve

yo dude lookin good , just messed my pants, is that your wheels all done or what, i cant believe you got off yo donkey and are doing such a great job, don't make it to good that you don't want to ride it.

Are the wheel hubs on your '76 polished from the factory? Could you post a couple of pictures of them, especially the sides? I'm building up a set of wheels to replace my Speedlines. I have a set of hubs that are mostly as-cast so I'm curious how they looked from the factory.

On my 77SS and 75 GT the center of the hubs are polished[Right where you can't get to them] and the sides along with the bearing carriers are as cast.

yes wheels are done
ride it i dont even own a helmet

Thanks! I've already polished the hub centres and cush drive carrier. Should go well with the stainless spokes I've yet to order. Incidently, Discovolantemoto claims they can supply new Borrani WM4X18 rims for the back wheels of later SSs. May not have the right number stamping but then they don't cost thousands either like some I've seen on eBay.

So what is all this polishing thereof that goes on then?

Bike is looking brilliant in the pics. Good progress. Definitely a piece of Italian sculpture. Top work.
Are those the (finally) finished wheels, or the earlier attempts assembled, ready to jam up spokeman's clacker valve?

progress,progress,progress

Ahh you look like your having fun
How much has your rear pocket been bled so far ???

ahh martin
pocket bleeding is a word you obviously well aquainted with.
i have spent $4,000 but have quite a few new parts waiting on my shelf
i just priced up brake rebuild-if i replace everything-$1,000
im definitly bleeding-looks like blood bin for me
ps your forks ??? you gottem you tell us-you got to much stuff

cheers
steve

hey martin
another update-spent a further $1000 today-getting expensive now,the end is in site for body etc-next the motor-mmm who knows-looking at 6k

Yep know what you mean , I did all this for my SSD and I spared no expense as I wanted the bike to be stock standard , it took me for ever to locate the grandturissmo engine breather hose , I managed to find one for a SS its in great condition as well , my engine cost me 4k and this was me supplying a far better 6dog box than what was in it , paint thus far is at 1k assorted parts I think are around the 3k mark and I still have to get the rest of the paint done
But in the end I will have one super clean SSD and this is the bike that I always wanted but could not afford when I was younger LOL not saying I'm old , I'd say you might have me by 2 or 3 years HAHAHAHA

yea maybe
im 49-bought this 900ss 2 weeks before my 18th birthday-cost-$3150 brand new!
the more i spend and do-the more i need to do and spend-you know what i mean
cheers steve
