All I can say is "Ow Son of a bitch"

Scruffy-Moms Savage has turned into a 2013 Honda CTX700D I sold it for the down. I'm familiar with the Suzuki site. Her Savage is in the projects there. I'm the guy that made the mid controls. I have them still, ready to bolt on another savage. The young man that bought the Savage didn't want...

Saw this cool little bike there, thought I'd share. Its a 250 Huskvarna 2 stroke.

The bike was really well received at Cruise Night. All the bikers had something to say to my son. He had a great time showing his bike off.

I got the exhaust done and am happy with the baffles. The sound is much quieter than the open pipes but still bratty. We'll see how well it's received tomorrow evening. The Cruise Night typically draws 300 cars and a large number of bikes every Wednesday night through Summer.

Time for an update. I got it running well enough for a test ride to confirm gears and brakes work. It has some carb issues that need attention but no big deal. I'm finishing up the exhaust today I hope. 1 1/4" pipes with baffles I found how to make on here. Want to get it out to the local cruise...

Progress this weekend. Rear fender. Exhaust mocked up. The exhaust pipe I had laying around its actually 1 1/2" EMT conduit. It looks too big though I'm considering putting 1" on instead. The rear fender is the front off the CBR fork with a little trimming it fit perfect just need to flat black...

Took some time, duct tape, bailing wire, zip ties, and a bunjie cord, cobbled it together enough for a short blast up and down the block. It runs ok, goes through the gears, and stops. Next is cleaning up the hack job wiring and adding lights and seat. Then I can work on some more permenant...

Ended up making a pair that work well. Still wouldn't mind a pair if stock ones, mine use thick rubber hose (1 1/4" pipe repair sleeve from home depot cut in half) and clamps at both ends. It's not as rigid as stock but it works with no vac leaks.

Those are some scary looking welds on that thing. Maybe its a good thing it has a small motor :o

Looking for a carb mounting boot for my sons project 79 cm400. I need only 1 but will buy 2 if need be. This is a budget build for my 15 yr olds first ride and he's paying so be kind. Theres a guy on evil bay that sells repops for $65 a pr. I'm in the San Diego CA area.

Looking for carb boots.

Thanks I really appriciate it. Zip is 92020. I'm still learning the ins and outs of DTT. I'm thinking I can get a PM from you with cost then I respond with address and send check or paypal.

Help! I found out why it only idles on the left cylinder and lean pops on the right at higher rpm. My right side carb boot manifold broke off when I was messing with the carbs today. It looks like it was cracked for a while. Anybody got a good pair out there. There's a guy on ebay with them for...

Riding's in the blood. I grewup with dirt bikes. My first street bike was an 81 400 Hawk. Crashed it almost lost a leg and didn't ride for 20 years. Gas went to $4.50 a gallon here (San Diego) so the wife bought a Rebel 250. In teaching her to ride it I discovered I really missed riding. 5 years...
