hmmm not sure how i can take a pic of the fuggin clutch i just bought for my brand new honda element.

lots of skaters out there!!! someone just bought some mini logos and some 149 indys from my shop a few days ago. weird.

oh really? ive also been considering the cycle x dual carb system for my 750. what have you heard from them thats bad? another buddy of mine loves them but i dont think he has ever really had any experience with them. he just likes that they seem to be doing some different things.

and oh yeah. i own a skate shop. bluetile in south carolina. ive taken a 4 month break from working on my bikes because there was water pushing up through cracks in the floor. landlord could not figure out what it was so i had to move during christmas. which was terrible. still working on some...

i plan to go kick only. i really dont want a bike that is a pain in the ass to start either. just trying to see if it will work. ive looked at that stuff on cycle x and i even emailed them to ask a bit about it and got no reply. i dont mind kicking a couple times but i dont want to break my leg...

so ive been missing in action for a while. i have been working on a couple cb750s but i just took about a 4 month break due to the unplanned move of my skateshop. so instead of building bikes ive been building walls, shelves, staining floors etc etc... all of which i had no idea how to do until...

sounds easy enough. thanks.

yeah im gonna plug those things. i didnt plan on working my way up that high tonight. what would be the best way to plug them? i told you i was completely clueless on all of this. i will certainly get some dish gloves. the latex gloves got a little eaten up tonight. haha

ok cool. im gonna try to get some sand paper tomorrow. what is the best way to get the frame clean? wet sanding? sand blasting?

i ordered a seat off of ebay. came in today from vietnam. took about three weeks... here it is unattached to the seat pan.

whats your wet sanding procedure? do you use just water and dish soap?

the seat is going on a 1978 cb750 k here it is sitting on top of the seat pan. not attached yet. not sure how to attach it. i think im gonna drop ot off at a seat place tomorrow and see how much it is to just stretch it and tack it down.

ha ha this thread made me laugh pretty good. props for doing something different. and thumbs up for all the witty retorts.

well i got my seat cover in from vietnam today. a little wrinkly from shipping. the box was pretty flat but i think it will be ok. i think the vinyl print on the side and back could have been a more crisp. all in all it seems like it will fit the pan great but i still may take it somewhere to...
