Orange n Black's 700

I bought some marine grade vinyl for 13 bucks a sq. yard and covered the seat, rear seat and back rest.

 

Well done!

 

Thank's father, I mean padre.LOL

 

Nice little project. Did you rattle can the paint..?

 

Orange !

lets see one with the whole bike, i wanna see that bad ass sissy bar, and the whole thing together.
might as well throw in a shot of ya sittin on the thing too. looks good!

 

The paint is rattle can. I used Chevy Orange engine enamel and Gloss Black engine enamel. After I put the new battery in this weekend I'll finish adjusting the carbs (I Hope), finish some clutch adjustment and paint touch up. then I'll take a pic and send it in.

 

When last years riding season was coming to a close, the bike started backfiring and runing badly. Found out that the airbox boots had separated from the airbox. Under closer inspection the boots had become hard and cracked and the airbox was loose in the frame (broken mount on airbox), airbox was cracked on side and had a hole in the bottom. After seeing all the threads about pods and pvc intakes, I decided to make a pvc intake. I made the intake out of 1 inch pipe with 2 pod filters. I had also removed the mufflers and installed washer baffles but had to put mufflers back on or do a carb rejet. Scared mufflers back on till winter,then new pipes and carb rejet to follow, here's pics of the intake.

 

Well s$$t! Guess i'll be going thru the carbs since no. 1&3 are leaking and gas is blowing out the left exhaust pipe. I believe I'm also having firing issues with the coils. Will have to wait til I have more funds, guess there's always next year!

 

Hey Orange.. What Filters are those?? I like them,
was kinda thinking about doing a 4 to 2 pods intake something have you had a chance to test them well or not??

O and the build looks nice!!

 

Thanks Kspalla, haven't had it running enough with the carb issues. I'll start cleaning the carbs this weekend (if the honeydo list writer lets me). The filters are oil breather filters I picked up at Advance Auto Parts for 12bucks each.

 

those were fitting on a 1in pvc line? seems kinda small but the setup looks sweet!!!!

 

It looks like 1 1/2 to me, thats about 40 mm, I like the battery placement myself.

 

The filter squeezes inside the elbow joint and it is 1 inch pipe. I also made one out of 1 1/2 in case the 1 inch doesn't work. The battery placement is stock.

 

i was thinking 1 1/2" and the elbows would b a little big but use a short stubby piece at the carbs and filter.. get the desired size that way

 

One of the problems I faced was available space, the 1 1/2 inch takes up more space and you might have to make it in two pieces instead of one.

 

I had actually planned on using two pieces instead of one supply bar to even out the amount of air that would be dispersed to the carbs.

so one wasn't being starved on either end but that was still in the planning process... so it has yet to be seen

 

Took the carbs off yesterday, getting ready to take the plunge. One thing I noticed was that the adjustment screw at center bottom (big wheel), wasn't touching the throttle tab at all, so much for adjustments! :evil:

 

I 'll probably wait till late tonight to clean since it's 99 degrees with a heat index of 111, and its only 1:00pm. Temp is supposed to hit 103 by 5:00pm, God knows what the heat index will be. BTW I thought I read somewhere on here that Pinesol is a good carb cleaner, can anyone shed light on this?

 

Been cleaning the carbs, found out they're Mikuni's instead of Hitachi. Very difficult to read numbers on jets, using magnifing glass but still hard to see.

 

Very nice forward controls. Your right that some paint will make
a great diff.

Have you colorsanded the tank yet? 3M "perfect it" is great suff but
around here you have to buy lg bottles at $30.00+ a pop.

Worth it if you 15-20 bikes to do lol.
