FINAL PIX of complete Honda Gyro rebuild~

Post by chevyguyjay »

Well folks, my Gyro is completely finished. I just wanna give a very special thanks to Dan for finding the bike for me last year. I have to hand it to you Dan, you know your stuff when it comes to plastic repair. He is one true friend that I hope to stay friends with for a long time. I also wanna give a BIG thanks to Dans buddy Bill. All my stickers were made by him and am totally blown away with his work. Thank you both for your time and awesome work. :thumbwink: Thanks to everyone on this site for all your comments. Here are all the pix from start to finish. Enjoy! :naughty:

Extraordinary work, Dawg! Somewhere off the coast of Japan, ocean salinity is changed from cremated Honda-san's tears of joy. :)

First rate work Chevyguy. I like the restoration pic summary you made, as well as your in-progress thread.

BTW - Is Dan on this board yet? Want to see some pics of his too :thumbsup:

Jason this gets weirder and weirder in the first pic I can see a Black 89 Elite ,
I swear It's like looking at my stuff .
I just finished a Black 89 Elite .
Talked to Dan tonight he's really happy for you ,your bike came out perfect
I still regret not buying the Gyro 2 weeks ago for $160.00 after seeing what you started with
The bike I told Tazz to get was not as bad as what you started with .
Jason your bike Looks Perfect .... Must feel good to be finished ...
