refreshing a JPN

Mine had original headlight cups.

I think I still have a rough set in my chopped fairing, but don't want to remove anything from it as it's hard enough to sell already.

I see you've been looking closely at the seat pix...

not sure what you mean about headlight cups, here are the actual inner workings of the museum bike, like mine

Well, "shell rings", whatever. They didn't look hand cut, all edges were machine rolled.
 
Getting done, the bike sounds great ,idles nice. The refurbished fairing looks great, regelcoated, not paint. Got the wiring in the fairing all plugged in, gotta tuck it up as best as I can,its a real squirrel nest, I went with authentic wiring, and could have cleaned it up with modern components, but its gotta be correct:rolleyes:

thanks ,only the fairing was regelled, the other pieces were good enough not to have to refinish. But there are some minor stress cracks in the seat and tank cover, oh well

the "patina" was just too extreme on the fairing ;) so I spent $1000+ to remove it. :eek:
getting mirror stalk parts chromed up( choke parts too). As far as I can tell the correct ones were just cut down standard ones, so that's what I did .

I like the way you beveled the edge of the cut on the stalks. Are they stainless?

thanks I tried to get the look of the original, just oem chromed steel Norton pieces cut down
 
Put some little black rubber caps on the stubs and you won't have to re-chrome them. The replacement mirrors I bought came with yellow (yuck!) caps on the stems.
