Default Project begins

So i brought Blackeclpses '93 gsx-r 750. Obviously knowing it needs a lot of work. So first thing i did was i took off the front fairings, the lowers are the correct fairings for the bike but the uppers were from a CBR, along w/ the headlight. So i took it all off and i rigged up 2 foglights for right now until i get my new parts which i will list later. I than fixed the seats (they weren't secured all the way. The next task was to break the bead on the front tire to put a new vavle stem in (took about 15 mins). I than wired the fan to my ignition so when i turn it on my fan runs all the time b/c the relay on the fan went bad so the bike would overheat if it was sitting still. I also went and rearwired the gauge cluster and the rear brake b/c they had a bad short in it. I than took care of the brakes, i replaced the brake lines w/ steel braided, put some new pads and bleed them all. I also found out some interesting things about the motor. According to my friend who is a bike mechanic they are full mechanical racing carbs that run about 600-800 at the track. Also the bike has some high compression pistons. The only other thing i did was take some chrome polish to the polished frame to get out oxidization
