New project in the midst

What do you think of this one?

 

More of the same, then?[/quote]

Ouch harsh!

I haven't seen too many with a stretched swing arm or airbrush work. Majority I see are a chopped frame lowered rear and a solo and flat fricken black.

What I'm looking for is a stretched soft tail bobber.

 

What one you sent the link to garage company's web page.

 

You might want to open the garage door and turn on a fan when your going choppity chop there reajcox

 

And why would I want to do that? It's 70 Degrees in the garage and 40 outside. Besides I'm using a porta band chop saw. No Fumes! But, good lookin' out.

God bless power tools!!!!!!

Pods got ordered tonight. Found them for $18.00 + shipping. I'll go steal the Mikuni jet kit this spring from a friend and jet my jets all synced up.

For future reference ya'll can just call me "Ry". It's short for Ryan. reajcox stands for Ryan Elizabeth Adrianna Jen Cox.

 

BTW who the hell put an air box in that you have to remove the engine to get out?

I can honestly say it didn't put up much of a fight to the blade. :lol:

 

Anyone out there know the size tubing used at the swing arm?. Not really vitally important but good to know so I can order it before I cut the thing in two. It will be getting 3 inches of length added and the whole section and will have a steel slug run through it. 3 inch (or max depth) on either side of the extension. I'm looking at 9" of solid to e brace the swing arms guts.

Ain't seen that in a cookie cutter!!!

 

Elizabeth, what sort of a haircut you got there?
Go to the bottom of the page I sent:
Garage Company builds California bobber for Michael Schumacher.

 

Love the tank! The tires are perfect for the build along with the wires. The exhaust needs to be lower. Springers are just sweet. The color is awful and way to much of it. Looks like they should have taken his height into consideration.

Elizabeth is my daughter. And I'm going for the Joe Dirt mullet. :lol: Not!!!

 

Well the air box is out the wiring harness is a mess. Trying to figure out what to do with wiring and battery.

Carbs are back on. Waiting for my pods.

 

Yet another update. Decided to take the engine out to do some frame work. And clean everything as well as repaint the frame. Here she sits.

BTW I've got to shorten the kick stand.

 

You could have sold the airbox if you hadn't cut it up, there is a demand for stock airboxes from people dumping the pods when they can't get the thing to run right.
I agree about the colour & perhaps they could bob Schumacher's legs.

 

hey, Elizabeth, if you want to avoid the cookie cutter bike, just stretching the STOCK swingarm 3" is like using a broken cookie cutter to make misshapen cookies.

build a whole new rear swingarm, cut off the stock uhh, i dont know what it's called, its the thing with the bearings that swivels on the swingarm bolt, and weld some curved bar to it like in an oval shape, weld an axle plate in the rear, but cut the rear ends of the bar so it comes to a point, i drew a rough pic. if you dont have means to bend the bars like so, I imagine a steel shop or body shop could get the bars, bend, and tack it together for around 150 smacks. remember to cut slots in the bars for the axle plates to slide in for extra strength

 

oh ya, get some xs650 spokes

 

WOW!!! That just hit me out of the blue... My Swing arm issues are over. I have a whole second Chassis for a Suzuki GS500E.

Anybody interested is seeing an XJ get mono shocked?! can even ditch the mono and go dual shocks yet.

The Swing arms are about 3 inches different and a whole 1/8 of an inch too wide. at the swing arm mount. No big deal.

Check this out...

 

What something like this XS ?

 

Groovey, do er up guy, thats gonna be cool. Gonna swap for a gixxer or r1 front too now right

 

see, now that's cool, mono shock it up

 

D'oh (Homer)

 

Too much work for me.

Id rather be riding.
