Do you keep the slides with the same carb bodies that they came out of?
I always do, just curious if you think it's necessary.

No. I trust Honda tolerances.
Got this thing for free today from a buddy. Unfortunately the guy before him decided to do a horrendous paint job on it…
Nah they open with no issue. Checked them all.Do the drawers even open, or are they painted shut too?
Price was right, drawers all open and hold stuff and it was free. Seems like a home run to me.
Nobody should judge you on how ugly your drawers are.

Wow, I’ve seen roller painted scrap metal trucks with better paint.
Look at the bright side, now you need a DA, Dollies, and a paint gun.
As a guy who has painted more than one vehicle with a roller I have to agree.
I don’t know what a DA is, but I assume I can’t strip the garbage paint job off it right?
Sander. The paint aucks so bad that I would try a chemical strip and see if you can blow off the black paint without hurting the paint underneath. The stickers won't survive the process.
Going to take a wild guess and say it's thick Tremclad paint and was done when it was too cold so it didn't spread very well. But free is free so good score!
If it works, I would not do a damn thing to it but fill it with tools. Free is always the best price (unless it's broken)
I laugh, but this isn't a bad idea at all!
Agreed. It all works, all the shelves are clean / smooth rolling...I can't really complain about the price and I'm sure it'll come in useful. Hell I could even send it to the cottage and hide dad's tools there.
Well if you change your mind, I got a place you can store it... wink, wink...

So..... I've opened up my bike. It started by replacing the broken fairing and adding a USB charger through the front. It made me realize the previous owner(s) once opened up the bike and did a bad job closing it. One thing led to another and I ended up stripping down all fairings and almost 60% of the parts and attachments and then ordering a full set of nuts and bolts and those plastic rivets and fixing them up.
It's all done.... except.... for the love of God.... I'm unable to fix the grab rail which is a pre-requisite for fixing the seat. Help?!
