General Discussion / Sandcast Insurance
« on: July 13, 2010, 08:13:28 am »
Hi All,
What type of insurance do you have on your Sandcast? What Company are you using? How much is your bike insured for? Did it require a special inspection? How much was the coverage? My standard company is balking at giving me more than $4k in insured value.
Thanks,
ED

Thanks for the comments guys. Nielsen- I actually have the Yamiya instrument black plastic instrument covers. I covered them with the chrome gauge covers from Carpy in CA to protect them. I do agree though that the original black showing looks better. The way the front forks are set up now was to bead blast them followed up with 2 coats of clear coat. When I tear them down for the new fork springs I could polish the lowers. I learned how to do that at a much later date than when I re did the forks at the beginning of the build. What cable do I need to route on the right side of the engine under the kick starter? Thanks for the information on the stickers. Are there really only 2 stickers that were on the Sandcasts? Does anyone have pictures for reference? I used the clear tubing on the carbs at the beginning because I had some leaking float valve issues and it helped me to see which carb was leaking. Now that that issue has been fixed I will source some black fuel tubing for replacement. Good catch on the chain guard it now has the correct one in place!! Here is a link to the seat that I was looking at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370380179830&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT -does anyone have experience with these guys?? It looks nice, shows the 17 hole seat pan and is priced about the same as Yamiya's 10 hole seat.
Thanks and keep the comments coming!!

Hi All,
I have been a member for a while now but this is my first post. I restored my sandcast a few years ago and have almost 1000 miles on it since. I now want to make my restoration a little more correct than it currently is. The things that I know that I need to replace are as follows:
Real sandcast seat vs the Plastic pan repop that I have now. Should I be getting a 10 hole Yamiya one or the 17 hole $1000 one sold on ebay?
Correct tank trim vs the later version that I have now
Correct Mirrors vs the cheap ones I have now
Re powder coat the center stand black-the guy put it in the wrong pile and it got the silver color like other parts
Get a new wiring harness as mine has 20+ repairs to it-I dread the tear down to make this happen.
Put progressive fork springs in as I now have a pogo stick front end.
I spent over $1200 on NOS HM 300 exhaust-was this a mistake vs the Yamiya Lotus root ones?
I ordered the Yamiya sticker kit and noticed many inconsistencies from my original rear fender sticker-unfortunately he would not grant me a refund.
Things that I have purposely changed to make it a rider/meet my personal taste are Dyna electronic ignition, Dyna coils and wires, Stainless steel hex bolts on the engine case covers and new tires.
The bike runs flawlessly/fires immediately and is very smooth since I synchronized the carbs.
The engine was rebuilt with all NOS parts with the 2nd oversize pistons and rings due to grooving in #2 cylinder. Only thing not NOS were the APE studs.
Frame#5708
Engine#5420
What else am I missing? All comments and suggestions are welcome!!
Thanks,
