IT'S ALIVE.

Working on that actually. I'm modifying the stock cover. It has this ugly bulge in it. So I cut that part of it out, cut some sheet metal, glued it in, and then bondo'd and marglassed over it. I just...
Some updated pics. It's coming along. Just ordered a jet kit which should solve all the running issues...I hope.
BTW that is not me in the pics. It's my bro in law....
It finally got on the road last night! It's still not running completely right, but we made some progress. Pics coming soon.
Really really really hoping to get the bike running tonight.
:goof
BTW my bro in law is gonna come over tomorrow to work on the bike if you wanna come lend a hand.
Wow, that is DOPE! I wonder what he wants for it. He doesn't come out and say.
Yeaaah. We gotta figure that out.
Hmmm. There's a bike shop right across the street from my work. Maybe I'll walk over there and see what they have. I was planning on going over there to see...
I've started working on it again. Updates soon.
$119 isn't that bad.
Question: can we do the whole wiring and then just swap this thing in at any time?
Cause I'd like to get the bike rewired and ready go and then if I decide to go that...
You guys suck. hhahaaha.
Yeah I still use a lotta old school slang. I still say fresh, dope, ill, etc etc. It's just who I am.
And I'm 5'6".
It was good talking to you guys about the...
Shit, I'll just talk to you tonight about all of this. :)
Ok. Let me know then. I'd like to see what it looks like.
Those all seem to cost a grip though. I'm still trying to build this thing on the cheap.
I need to find a gauge like the one in that 3rd pic above. But I don't want to pay $100+
I'm also thinking of redoing my exhaust. Getting rid of the mufflers all together. Just need to do some...
It's gone already. Uncle has it. You can get'em real cheap.
'81 750. same year as mine.
Will do.
No thanks. One is enough for me. My next bike will be a more traditional cafe style bike.
Thanks.
Update on this bike:
Unfortunately I didn't get the thing running in time to ride it this year.
I ended up taking it out to my brother in laws shop in Richfield and while it was great to have...
Yep. Going to do that before it's completely done. I'm going to half ass it right now and just mask everything off and rattle can it. Over winter I'll remove it and have it powder coated. Along with...
Moar updates. Been working on the bike all week and weekend. Alllllmost done but now quit.
Here's some updates pics. As you can see the seat is done and it turned out great. I also decided to do...
Ok fuck it here ya go.
I finally got around to painting the front rim. And not only did I do that I decided "Hey I love the look of black wheels with a red lip". So I said fuck it and did it....
BIG fun updates coming this weekend!
I worked on something all night last night and it turned out freakin SWEET! That's all I'm saying for now.
Thanks. I'm glad it's turning out good.
I want some so bad...but they are all so damn expensive. The Rizomo ones are like $120 or something. I'm still trying to keep it a budget build, but I...
It's alive!
Updates soon.
I'm hoping to have the bike complete by next weekend.
