Re: CL175 "Blue Bomber?"
I just realized how much it sucks to look at this project thread and not see any differences. But it looks like my life is giving me a chance to work in the garage again. Let me just start with Curbcast: as much as I hate that movie I am gonna have to watch it again just to check out that Scrambler. Thanks a freakin lot
I talked to RocCityCafe about some clip ons and let me say that guy deserves every bit of business he gets. Real stand-up character.
I've decided to say "Screw waiting for the snow", I'm working on this thing now! Got a lot done in the past 2 days. After pulling the tank and the seat, this is what I started with (again)
A couple years ago I bought a deer gambrel and figured out all the hardware I would need to put it up. Rated at 440 pounds so it's real nice if you have a light enough bike
I want to leave the frame rolling stock for now since I started tearing the motor apart to clean it up. Ordered some new gaskets and a new kick start lever since mine snapped and had it welded solid. The only pain is the kickstand is mounted to the motor on mine. Nothing a few jackstands can't handle.
So I do have the motor pulled again and waiting for parts - again. Once I get the gaskets and put the motor back together I'll be soda-blasting and re-painting it. After the motor is back together it will be time to sand-blast the frame and re-paint it. After I grind some crap off and weld up a new battery box.
I know it's taking me forever to get nowhere but I'm the kind of person that has to see something DONE before I do it myself and commit to it. The newest "toy bike" actually has some plans in the making though.
