    ALBI"S TL build from the start with bigger better pics yay

    ok so most of you lot will know since 2007 i could never post good sized pics !
    well now i have learnt lol, and always deppended on GITZY to post for me but now no more ,a man has to walk on his own two feet , so without further adue here we go .

    sit back relax and be prepaired to piss urself at my attempt of spelling and picture taking and story telling.

    it was a bright sunny day and i was sick of my GS thou taking ages to do so i went out to ponder a new begining ,well and a chance to tyre kick some bikes heheheheh.
    walked into GRAHAM BOYDS suzuki dealership here in newy and asked if they had any s/hand bikes for sale around $2500 , his reply "will a TL1000S do " next thing i have a rego paper in pocket and deal is done time to take home and all that was on my mind was fighter it!!


    its my wee widdlle baby girl that love the TL more than my boys .



    i liked the colour but it wasnt me ,im loud ,obnoxtious and have to be seen to be belived lol.


    i love the TLS bulbas seat assey but the stock indcators had to go !!




    dont know about most folk but im in my 40's and clip ons hurt the bejesus out of my back,wrists and neck so
    "comfort bars ,well thats what i tell the plod if they ask heheh" are a must !

    as most tls riders know the std clutch cable is 90 deg and is crap ! so i used a GS 500 one its 2 inchs longer and works well just need to trim down later on ,maybee!

    best booth ive got at the moe !!

    time to get on with it and lay down the hifill 2k primer , i used grey as im painting her blue and want to help blue stand out .
    hmmmm who would have thought paying atten in art class at high school would pay of hmm.


    hmm some little dings need to be filled in with bog "bondo to the yanks".


    as you can see ive applied a black quide coat " plain old gloss black" but didnt lay it on wet just enough to give a base to sand and find any hi and low points " its all in the prep with paint". i always use warm water and dishwashing liquid here i was using 600 grit to cut back it cleans,lubes and sands back very easy.




    as you can see with the fresh water on it there are only minor divots in tank,some more filler n sanding here .



    all divots gone ready for base coats , im using ppg cob "clear over base " 2k.


    as im doing it in a metalic paint ,im supporting in the position its sits in so all grains flow the right way.

    now i did this under my car port on ANZACS DAY a few yrs ago, and the weather was purfect,was so hard not to have a few drinks for my grandparents that faught in WW2 for the british army my nan drove a BLITZ and gave birth to my uncle on the moement the yanks droped the first A-bomb in edenbourgh castle and both have lived a strong good life but now departed
    LEST WE FORGET !



    now ive got three coats of clear on at this stage and as you can see its getting dark ,but as a typical male i had to lay last coat on , and they were the last great words on that day lol, i rushed the final coat and got a few runs in the top coat o clear argggggggg
    some people think my coulr choise is a bit wierd for my seat in its current form but as you can see in the pic of red leather "scottish red leather mind you " i was already thinking of way out coulors then for the seat !







    now my TLS is also my daily rider at this stage so the bugger had to be put back together for the next day "yes i know it needs time to cure but !!
    it is a daily rider had to get to work no matter what !!

    it was 4 in the morning and the heat lamps were running al night long ,wife was not impressed.
    i had to make a rack for the bag to carry my lunch and work gear and had run out of funds to by one , so i did what ever it took to make one !

    who ever said child labour was bad ?? a can o coke and my young bloke evan was there for an hour .



    i needed a way to work on motor and make life easy !!
    and also to paint n prep, so i used my engine stand for car engines and used some piston gudgen pins "wrist pins to some" to mount the support braces as they are the right size .
    2 hours work and it works a treat.

    i hate over spray and i hate very hate when an engine is painted with gaskets in place etc i like the look of fresh paint and new gaskets .
    here im using CAT tape ??? wtf ?? you ask , well in road transport and earth moving CATAPILLER use a alloy tape to seal etc and works well in my application.

    im using a 1/4 drive socket to roll the edges to pinch the tape for a neat finish.
