Plan for the weekend is fit one set of rails to the GPz11...& maybe assemble the carbs depending on how hard the paint is.

Re: '83 GPz750-A1 malarkey.
Started carb assembly today, ended up raiding the spare set for the floats, a couple of the caps & some hardware.
Two new key blanks arrived & another fuel tap just so I could use the plastic filter doodad from it.
Tomorrow:
Decided to paint the mounting rails & some other bits with Steel-It instead of the gloss black epoxy. Going to use that stuff on the rear brake lever too.

Emptied out the tumbler this morning to see if I missed any parts in there... it's like picking fly shit out of pepper. The media is 8mm stainless steel pins
Threw another load in there for 3 hours.

Carb rails & brake lever got the Steel-It treatment this morning. Lever looking spiffy... other bits just got turned over & painted on the other side, so they still sitting in the Sun 
Have to be a bit quick with this paint as it comes out of the rattle can like a frigging fire hose.
