Got some more done on the ZS this weekend, I'll start with the seam sealing.
Here's the N/S taped up ready for the seam sealer to be applied -
Seam sealer applied -
Worked in, smoothed off and tape removed -
Jacking point sealed up too -
Rinse and repeat for the O/S, taped up -
Seam sealer applied -
Smoothed off and tape removed -
I also removed the air con and coolant rads today. I've wire brushed and sanded back the front valence too -
Masked up around the valence -
And Zinc primed -
I also painted behind it too but I couldn't get a decent picture of that.
I've begun stripping down the running gear so I can refurb the lot, here's the N/S bottom arm stripped and wire brushed back to bare metal -
The bushes are fine so I masked up around them. Anything that's got a bush in it I'll refurb myself, the rest will go off to be blasted and coated.
Zinc primed -
And painted black -
I'll leave that to dry for a few days now as the paint takes a while to properly cure.
I've also stripped down the damper and spring assemblies -
The dampers will be kept as they're fine, the forks refurbished and the springs will be replaced as I'm going to get a set of lowering springs from Moto-Build. I've read a few reviews and they seem to be favourable so far.
And finally, these are the bits going to the powder coaters tomorrow -
Jay.
