So something is going wrong in the carb so I decided to buy a rebuild kit for it today. It would rev waay up and not idle at all but drive fine so I guess the slow jet oxidized or got clogged with junk, so I bought a fuel filter to prevent that from happening again. I also made a bracket for the...

Well my neighbor got some vinyl for his streetfighter seat, and he gave me the rest to re-do mine! I think it came out very well so I went for a ride. I think it looks way better, also I am ditching the whole front headlight/gauge cluster bucket in favor of something more dirt bike looking. I...

Here is a quick shot I snapped on my way to work this morning, I am thinking about cutting the rear fender and I'm going to get a completely different front one. The seat is a huge WIP right now I still need to dye it black and tidy it up but it beats the old ripped vinyl, and I'm kind of on...

So I saw somewhere else where a guy used a rear turn signal to make a tail/brake light, and I liked it so I did it, too. I used 6 LEDs for the running light and then a bulb for the brake light. It works really well and is super bright. My current problem though is the stator cannot supply...

I am kinda thinking that red/black/gold(pinstripe)/polished bits and bobs would look awesome. I decided to have a go at really giving the gas cap some shine to it and I am quite pleased with the outcome, ~20 minutes of work with a drill and some sandpaper and it looks like something I would of...

Got allllllll the dents out of the tank (well my roommate did) and I painted it at work today! I also polished up the petcock and gas cap. Is it possible to work a vent into the tank itself so I can knock the nipple off of the cap?

The new engine came and I've been ripping it around trails and such by the house. The project has kind of taken a turn towards the original intent of the bike, well because its pretty fun in the form it is now. My idea is kind of a brat/tracker (so I guess this thread should be moved). I plan...

All the "big" plans are really on hold until I can get a title and re-do the wiring harness. I love wiring so I was going to buy all new wire and re make the whole harness but with standard blade fuses and ready for 12v because a 6v system is retarded. So that should give me more options for...

That looks kind of silly in my head, I was already mulling the idea of forks from a CBR around in my head but keeping the factory rear swingarm so I can keep dual rear shocks. The biggest issue I see is of course braking. the rear would have to be a custom mounted rear disk and the front would...

Just because it is outside of the norm shouldn't exclude it from the party. The bike was made as a dual-sport derived from the CR of the day, so why not focus it more on the on-road side of things, since that is where my heart lies anyway? I'm sure it would be a brilliant tracker, too. However I...

I don't think so, if it had different tires on it it wouldn't be too hard to see it as one. I have this awesome picture in my head and I think I can pull it off, we will just have to wait and see how it forms.

Yeah I thought about the seat too since this one is toast anyway. I figured the exhaust wouldn't work so its either the stocker, or fit a race pipe off of a CR250 of the same year, I'm sure it could fit with little to no bodging. anyway I got the frame back together to make it easier to handle...

Even if it is just tacked onto the end of a tuned pipe? I understand I can't just have a straight pipe hanging off the exhaust port and expect to make power at all, but there is no way to have a megaphone on a 2-stroke? I do still have the stock exhaust which worked fine I just want that...

I cracked that engine open and decided it wasn't worth the money in a new clutch gearset, gasket set, and bearings, as well as the machine shop work it would take to get the broken teeth out of the clutch lever hole and I found a running engine on eBay for just under $300 that I could just drop...

Well the clutch lever was sticking so I pulled it out, turns out pieces of second gear had wedged themselves against it, so tomorrow I will crack the engine open and clean it all out really good and just look at all the internals. So because of that I will strip the whole thing and paint the...
