Ruh roh, hope everything downstream of the tank is ok - primarily the injectors.

 

Any thoughts n how the tank got in such a state?

10 years of being parked with ethanol fuel in the tank. 

The bike ran PERFECTLY before I took the tank off, started immediately, revved perfectly, idles perfectly, etc. 

I had ridden it home like 10km when I bought it and it pulled like a freight train. 

I removed rhe FPR and blew out the entire fuel rail and HP supply hose with compressed air. NO RUST came out. None. 

I also blew the FPR clean, and there was only a speck or two of soft debris in there. 

OE fuel filter must have worked! 

Guess which of the two fuel pumps I'm putting back in?? 

Guess what I'm doing now? 

That looks like a 929/954 upper triple

the CBR1000 item would have lugs for the factory steering damper I think 

Hoverbike has legs!!!

Now to clean the chain, change the front sprocket (-1 tooth), install the speedohealer, and clean the dreadedrusty fuel tank. 

Smoked LED taillight

That sucks!

Looks good, are you keeping those Indicators? is there any local legislation that prevents you using surface mounted indicators.. they stick out like my brothers ears!

I don't like the flushmounts. 

We're invisible to cars as-is!!!

Wheel bearings have been cleaned and repacked with fresh grease. 

RC51 heads over on FB were all like: Just buy new bearings man!

And I was like: Naw, I'm good, thanks. 

$7 worth of grease and a little time and they're mint! 

With only 4,000 miles, they'd better be! 

New tires Friday!!! 

There's gold in them thar Hills! 

I never had to modify the frame? 

The BLS blocks were dead easy to fit. 

I guess it depends on how adventurous you are! 

One good mod deserves another, I always say!!!

Rob, keep the mag clutch cover. Consider the scuffing as patina - think what the does to the value of a Louis IV chair 

Oh that was a random internet pic. 

Mine is not scuffed.

Is there a clutch cover mod coming this fall?  Looks Great Robbie not a bit jealous.

Clutch cover mod would be tough. Stock cover is magnesium, so can't be modded by seb. 

Id have to buy an aftermarket racing cover in aluminum, and have seb mod that. 

Would be a $500 touch by the time I'm done. Ouch! 

Stock on the left, aftermarket aluminum on the right, just for reference.

Nicely done Rob!!!  That last pic of the 2 of you, looks like it's got just as big a sh#t eating grin, like a newly adopted puppy.

We all know the work you do will be meticulous.

Love that sound.  Looking forward to watching the progression.

Thanks Tony!

Nice one Rob... welcome to dual GDC ownership.

 

Got a leaky tank?

Not leaky no, rusty, yes 

The rescue project is ramping up, as time allows.

instead of mowing my lawn, I tore the RC apart. 

Wheels off, to be powdercoated gold, and forks off for new seals. 

The gold wheels pic is just for reference, that's the shade I'm shooting for. 

Can only comment on Larry's blocks. 

Have had mine on for 10 years now and now and they're flawless. 

A little finangling needed for the sidestand and the brake lever, but since then, zero issues.

I thought the bike look awesome in red but Wow.  The color combo you put together here is incredible.  That's the way the Honda should have sold it from the factory.  Nice job.......

Thanks!

i spent all winter of 2009 obsessing over the paint scheme!

Got some front and rear stands for the RC
