Not an optimist, should just be in the for sale section. Wow, new tires, sissy bar option and hard bags could almost recoup the asking price...
That is the worst feeling ever. You feel like it's just about there and it starts to feel lighter!
Thanks for posting this, I have read a few of there articles besides the 900 and it is great to see a small business take off the way theirs has.
Nice bit of fab work there, you have some great friends. Didn't know you wuz a rockit scientist! :cool::cool::cool:
They used to have a Honda but switched to Yamaha to get a little more "Sole"!
Whoa, that's different! How much travel before engagement? 1/4 turn throttle and all that safety wire makes me think you have racing in your...
I just would not want that much electricity that close to my nuts!!!
That is actually one of the tidiest bikes posted on here for a while, and at a decent price. It'll be a plus if he can be haggled down on the...
No pressure...shoulda went with the test piece. Just kidding.
Spray a test piece with the paint if you have any left and then try the clear. If it works, YAY!!!!!!! if it doesn't AH CRAPPPPP, but it was only...
That's quite a transformation, nice work.
Sounds like you got it covered Stagger, good luck with the build, will be watching.
When you say wrecked is the title clear so it can be rebuilt. Hows the compression, is the motor solid and how well does it run? Have you tried to...
That horn under the seat is actually a factory mod. It goes off if a fat chick sits on the bike so you don't take her home when you're drunk! ;) ;)
Hey MattB, I saw in an earlier post that this is all new to you but just want to know what your mechanical abilities are as far as tracking down...
Maybe it's a bunch of old guys wanting to travel back in time and get a bike to relive their youth. For nice looking well maintained bikes top...
Yeh, it's all Greek to me.
...or a great smelling garage. I love the smell of (cooking) Glycol in the morning! [IMG]
Ask him how he came up with $750, he'll probably say a dollar a CC. Then tell him that's for a running bike not the boat anchor in the picture....
...which brings me back to the old saying, "Just because it can be built doesn't mean it should be built".
Sorry that I'm late to this post Matti and I do hope that you heal well however long the recovery takes. One thing that I'm doing right now for...
While you have the front end torn down as far as you do, have you considered doing the steering bearings as well? In for a penny, in for a pound!
That is the SADIST looking creation that I have ever seen and it would require a SADIST to ride it with position of the controls and steel tractor...
Can't be done, these bikes will go into the red zone if you are parked in traffic for too long. If anything they need a larger cooling capacity...
Probably the hands of people that went over and picked up without asking first! :eek::eek:
Mmmm yeh, that's why there is none for sale anywhere else in the world, hogfiddles has 'em all! ;);)
The Maxim-X's are like chickens teeth. Mine is on a bike stand in the garage, it's one of those "I'm gonna get 'er back on the road one of these...
Hey X-man did you score the one in town, hope you got a good deal.
Here's a link to one right here in town....
Had to fiddle around to get it to work, should be able to see it now.
[ATTACH] [IMG] Don't know if this picture works but this is how I used to go racing.
Hmmmm, motocross bars, headlight that will annoy aircraft, brake light/license plate that will catch your leg, nice seat sitting up on top of the...
What I have done is downloaded Chrome as a second browser. My main browser is IE11, it's what I'm used to so it is what it is. However when I'm on...
So can you give an example of how the fix works? I see the extension but don't know how to use it. Do I have to sign into my Photobucket account...
From police special to what police "specially" look at. Good luck on the overhaul.
My memory of MacGyver was how he could rig things to blow up or cause destruction and mayhem....hmmm, maybe you have a valid point! :eek:
Hey Chris, maybe your engine is OK and all the "Blue" smoke was just the ink burning off! o_O o_O
You must be impressed Len, that's the shortest reply I can ever recall! :D
Surprised it didn't melt inside the tank and goo everything downstream!
I don't know if this will be of any help, but I saw these on Kijiji up here in Toronto, Canada. The ad number is Ad ID 1311497734, see if it works...
WOW!!! You have stuck with this build/project for just over six years, at least on the forum that is. The photos are very well done and the bike...
OK, here's a shot from left field. What about the wiring/circuit from the run/no run switch on the handlebar? If there is something loose or a...
Lit or unlit?
One can never have TOO many toys, and if you can use them for what their real purpose was, even better!! :cool::cool::cool:
If those are the original front brake lines then replace them. Most bikes in general get a huge improvement from Stainless braided. While you're...
This an excellent thread, meticulously written and photographed.
If it's not related to a fuel issue you could route a piece of black or clear hose to a catch can mounted to the frame. This may give the smoke a...
Just out of curiosity did you do a vehicle registration check, I think you can find out when it was on the road last by doing that.
...exactly, after a ride the chain develops some heat and this helps to draw the lube into the chain. I guess I should have mentioned this in the...
That's the stuff I always used on my bike when I was racing back in the mid 2000's. I have used it on my 1200 Bandit since the racing ended and...
