Post a pic of your motorcycle as it sits

Apologies if these are in the wrong place on the site as I'm not too good with computers etc...

Now that the holidays are over its time to start on the cb400f again. I have the fork mounted, but need to mount the vfr400 swingarm next.

Finally got the jetting in the ballpark. A little more playing should have it in the diamond.
This is the first time she's seen pavement in about 2.5 years.

Took her down the road a bit. Feels stronger than ever ;)
 
Got three projects at the moment, which is probably two too many..

Some nice work there. BTW, what are the two pulleys ahead of the crank (mounted one above the other)? Is that a pair of magnetos driving one plug per cylinder each or something else?
 
For a long time Rachels Hondamatic has had a hiccup in its idle.

A/F passages and pressed in emulsion tubes were clogged badly. I spent 3 days digging w guitar string, soaking and 150psi compressed air them.

Then threw in the towel.

Shipped them to cxman ( https://murrayscarbs.com/ ). Dude pulled the pressed in emulsion tubes and cleared the passages in one day.

This machine now runs showroom new. Thanks so much bud.

The two pulleys at the back (behind the crank) drive two magnetos, the head is twin plugged, the magnetos spark one of each per cylinder. This is because if one fails, the other can continue to ignite the mixture in the cylinder.. as with Nitro failure to do so can grenade the engine.

The pulley in front of the crank (low down) drives an oil pump.
 
A Honda 750 digger I started putting together. Unfortunately, it sold before I could get a finished picture. I've been selling off bikes and projects trying to downsize a bit. Warmer weather in the South has brought out the buyers!

Next up my 1963 Honda CL 72 (250cc). The Lucky Lady. It was TT and flat tracked raced in the early to mid 60s. Put back on the street sometime in the 70s. The knee pads on the tank are gold metalflake vinyl!
