RESTO 1995 xp800 resto

[Lee.Harrison]

Another section done

 

[Lee.Harrison]

Got a lot more compounding done, still have to hit it with another pass or two with some finishing polish then some wax then should be done. Also have some nos switch housing, throttle housing and handlebar grips coming soon.

 

[Lee.Harrison]

I think she's done with polishing! Next step graphics then gelcoat.

 

[Lee.Harrison]

Got the graphics ordered, will post some pictures when they are installed.

 

[Lee.Harrison]

Gelcoat arrived, hopefully will get the bottom done when it starts to get warmer.

 

[Lee.Harrison]

New grips, cleaned bar pad, nos throttle housing and new start stop switch. Still have to adjust it a little but looks great!

 

[Lee.Harrison]

Graphics just came in from Mike at pwcgraphics.com and they look fantastic, glad to see that all the little miscellaneous stickers are included as well!

Awesome!! Coming along great! Yep Mike's decal kits are awesome! Make sure you use the wet method when applying them. I did mine by myself using a combination of the "dry" and "wet" method. I have a few pics in my 1995 XP800 thread.

Just read through your thread, really liked how that hump seat cover looked. And I will be doing the wet method, today we wrench on YouTube has a great method on it!

Anyone have any tips on how to clean the corner bumlers on the rubrails, acetone won't clean it up cause they are very chalky looking. Thanks.

Turf installed[emoji41]

 

[fatblockabody]

Looks great! The turf install always feels to me like the point of the resto that it is all starting to come together

 

[Lee.Harrison]

It was warm and sunny today so I thought I would take some pictures!

How’d you clean the bar pad?

 

[Lee.Harrison]

How’d you clean the bar pad?

Came like that when I bought the ski, unfortunately it's starting to get gummy. But if I don't touch it it looks mint.

 

[Lee.Harrison]

Powder coated some stuff.

 

[Lee.Harrison]

Looks spot on

Thanks!
