I was gonna make a compartment for my wallet/keys/registration and it was kinda my stab at a cafe tail. I didn't like how it turned out so its...
I new she was lean, my pipes started to blue, so I threw some pods on there until I can rejet. I would rather just build an airbox and use some of...
wow kev, your bike has come a long way. Its lookin awesome man.
I would have never believed his bike would run as well as it does, with his box on there. But like I said, my bike ran amazing with just an open...
This is my buddies chop. If you look closely at the picture, he made an airbox in the shape of a maltese cross. On the bottom of the box (by the...
they were a set of steel msr dirt bike bars I had laying around. I cut the crossbar out and flipped em upside down.
I think I'm gonna make a custom airbox with an opening the same size as factory out of sheet metal and see how she does.
wow, it's hard to believe its been almost 2 years since i had an update. I put the carbs back on, synch'd them, put on some pods, and rode it...
Here is mine, I'm getting ready for a rebuild, going with a 6" stretch, drop-seat hardtail with an fj1200 rear wheel diff. bars and some forward...
Re: For those of you out there with home made forward contro redneck any pics? if what your are saying about position is true why not just move...
The only pics I have are on my photobucket page. I cut up the old handlebars and hammered them into the frame rails. Then welded it up, the put a...
:oops: sorry guys.
As for the gears, why don't you just change sprockets?
Yeah, I saw a flat black 650 the other day in greenwood. We're gonna have to get a group ride together. Where do you live?
A grand? What kind of tank are you buying???? 8O
Here is a pic though, I got her cleaned up and painted. Gonna finish up my seat pan hopefully this weekend. Suggestions, and opinions?...
So when is she getting paint? Or are you gonna leave it bare metal?
Looking awesome kevin. The pipes turned out great. How does she sound/ride/idle?
Well after searching around aimlessly and getting the oddest looks from people, I broke down and ordered it today. Poeple at retail stores really...
Why do you keep saying it's unrideable?
Awesome! I inspected all the diaphrams, they are in excellent shape. They are just stiff, so this should work perfectly! Rick you rock! A kid I...
I was gonna buy 4, they are all stiff and I don't want these carbs to have to come apart again. I figured If I could get a matched set, fine...
I went to Flatout today to see if they had the diaphrams for my 82 XJ550, but they didn't even have a part number. Does anyone know where I can...
Anyone seen them? The guy that owns this bike lives right around the corner from me! Who Knew? It's a VT750 shadow for those who were wondering....
Not a gsxr 1100. They have a different frame design. Either a gsxr 600/750/1000 from early 2000's.
You need to clean the part with soap and water before you paint it.
Actually, I believe that to be an old supra. Nice either way. The bike is looking good!
I would love to go to the Smoke-out this year! I hope I get my bike done in the next week!
A lot of bikers meet there on nice days. Friday and saturday evening is usually packed, and there are a lot of custom bikes there. It's a great...
Are you saying I shouldn't do it because it would be too bright for others? I'm only using one of those lights. Is there anyone that makes a...
Crath, The bikes looking great! At this rate, you'll be done in no time! What paint scheme you going with?
whatever became of this bike? Did you redo it?
The bike isn't "messed up". He built, he likes it, and thats all that matters. Kevineleven couldn't have said it better. If you don't like it...
I've got an old yellow fog light I want to do this to, but have it be my main light. http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee30 ... lights.jpg...
We'll have to meet up somewhere this summer and go for a cruise! I should have my bike back on the road in a few weeks, (waiting on carbs). You...
Kevins thread is "cosmetic mods done", should be near the top of the thread list. You should go from beginning to end though, makes you really...
Kevin, hope it all works out for ya, you've come too far to quit now! It's gonna look sick when you get it all back together! Keep us posted.
Looks great! You must be very meticulous (sp?) You even bondoed the welds! Very nice handywork, can't wait to see it finished.
Hey redneck, do you ride the southside at all? Down 31, and madison?
I cut and rewelded mine. Works great.
Looks good, I've been wanting to do this to my xj for a while, only in yellow.
Thanks guys. I'll have more updates soon. The carbs are off getting cleaned, and hopefully back on in week or two. Gotta get some filters too.
Cool, thanks guys. I'll have to give it some more thought before I make my decision.
The pipes are gonna be awesome! Are you still gonna wrap them? When you painted your engine, did you use a specific paint and cleaning process? I...
I should try that, it's cheap enough to experiment with, and I could light it with an led. Awesome! Thanks for the info!
I'll have to see what I can find, I need to have something there to judge my speed off of.
Thanks guys, I hope to get more done this week.
Also, anyone know where I can get a custom digital tach that I can "hide"? I don't want to over rev this thing!
awesome job! I'd say you've got some skills!
