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. Thanks to everyone on this site for all your comments. Here are all the pix from start to finish. Enjoy!
Click on the last pic to see the the first start up of the bike.
Extraordinary work, Dawg! Somewhere off the coast of Japan, ocean salinity is changed from cremated Honda-san's tears of joy.

Most of my money is spent on scooterparts. The rest is just wasted.

Really admire this scoot chevyguyjay,.........you have laid down quite the extensive pictorial. thanx for that and the build thread too!! Both will surely help with future Gyro S enthusiasts efforts to restore their own....when time is right, I've got a sqirrelled-away '86 that wants to look just like yours............ ...

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 .
