This was one scary clown.


Steven King had it right.

When I was a kid I thought the baddest bike I had ever seen was the 900 Ninja that he rode in Top Gun. When I was little older and could afford it I bought one. Some things are better in your dreams than they are in reality

Oh yea...total whack job.

Danny..you have a PM

Thanks for the compliments on the bike.

What's wrong with the swing arm that is on it now?

That one has a twisted off, easy out broken off into and half assed drilled out tensioner bolt still in it.

..........Your mileage may very.

Hey there......Speedway is a customer of mine.

Got some more work done and thought I would post a pic. No problems getting the airbox boot to mate up. I varied from the instructions and found it easier to tighten the carb down and then bring in the airbox. I am going to change the plumbing because I don't like the looks of what I have and am goi...

Man that is really cool to build the bike from pieces and to go out and only have "minor" issues. I hope to be so fortunate.

Well after all the anti spooge discussions, I have become concerned that after I get my bike built, I may take a picture of it and would not want spooge on display.

On my 98' Conversion I have 2 springs from the 250 pipe. The PC pipe I bought has places for 4 springs. The 500 has a 2 hole tab that mounts under a bolt that goes into the flange and looks like from the diagrams, that the tab is in the bottom position of the flange. Soooo......what would you guys d...

I'd be in too, depending on the $$$

I have one that has a bolt twisted off, halfway drilled out and for grins, has an easy out broke off in it. I would be happy to send your way if you really want it.

Well fellas, the time finally came to suck it up and buy a new swingarm. I am done f_ckin' around with used pieces that I am trying to cobble together. It sucks to blow my build budget, but it's time to get this build moving again. Hopefully I get this from the UPS man and can get back to taking pi...

I bet the safest place in the us if we nuked an asian country will be Socal. Because there are millions of them suckers living there now. They wouldn't wanna kill all those rich countrymen of theirs would they? Wonder how bad the earth would get if we just nuked all the bad countries to dust? Get 2...

I am a huge Triumph fan. It's spinning in the CD player in my truck. There is talk from the Rik Emmett camp that they are reuniting.

MotoGP

And of course SX/MX series, but it just isn't the same for me hearing the thumpers out there.


So Bob is a F1 fan..I work with Mahle Motorsports and they send me F1 footage from time to time that is pretty cool. I'd be happy to share if there is interest.

Sort of a "Jake Brake" for 5 hundy's.

I'm gonna' have to see that 24 foot extension......J/K Looks great man!

Me and the shift key don't get along sometimes.

Worked on the tank interference issue today and got it to a workable point. I was surprised how much I had to massage the tank for the head stay. The spark plug was easy after all the work on the head stay. I used a heat gun and the butt end of my dead blow hammer and a 24" 3/8" ratchet ex...

I have a part number 282U-520-14 that fits the following: XR600R 91-00 XR650L 93-04 XR650R 00-03 14 tooth.........Retails for around 30$. I ordered the wrong part number after too many Newcastle's :lol: 20$ takes it and I will pick up the tab for shipping. Can do Paypal if it is easier or whatever.

Congrats!

Yikes! Guess I need to stop posting and get to wrenching.

Yup! I watched USC lay the smack down on Illinois.

Weathermen are calling for 60's here this weekend so maybe I can get some work done on the bike.

We do get some temp swings for sure.
