un-waxed fiberglass resin dries tacky. its for building up thick layers. waxed resin dries to a smooth finish. you can use waxed to build up layers as well. i would mix up a little waxed stuff and brush on a coat.

no fork bashing or bar hitting here. got these nifty mini gauges. 2 1/2 inch, all LED, with all the idiot lights in the speedo. new brake pads, feul filter, oil filter. chopped the old seat mounts off the frame and styled up a new seat pan. just waiting for a sunny day to fiberglass outside. i...

swagger, you are a wealth of information! i will eventually get around to a few things you have described. so after a failed attempt to make a seat pan out of a street sign, i've decided to go with the old fiber glass trick. it's a little trickier, because i want to have a 2up, with a full...

daaaaamn man, thanks for the awesome post! i'v heard about the swapping the head, and also using triumph carbs. now i want to do everything that you have just mentioned. just got to take one step at a time. haven't had anytime lately to work on the bike, due to the christmas, my birthday...

great bikes. i love mine to death. 2nd gear slipping has been a problem with the bikes, but there are easy ways to fix it. the stock wheel size for the is the fattest you can go, due to the shaft drive. you can still find the primary chain easily. depending on the condition and the price, i...

i was hoping to get an 850 when i was looking for an old triple to work on. but can't complain, cuz i love my 750 to death also. great bikes. the budget bmw's.

well, just got back to work on the bike. couldn't do shit all for a week and a half due to a rad cap blowing off a forklift i was driving. 1st and 2nd degree burns on my back, neck and arm. could have been worse though. was revering and had just looked behind me a second earlier. just glad the...

my dad got me a yamaha pw50 when i was 6. was a great little ride. haha still remember watching my cousin jump on it for the first time, goosed the throttle, pulled a wheelie, and went straight into the fence. good times. the picture isn't mine, but thats pretty much it.

welcome! you got a nice clean triple to start with. i have it's little bro, the 750 and love it to death.

i'm fan of the cream tank. reminds me of my pearl one on my xs750. i'll be reading this thread for sure. keep the pictures and updates coming!

hahahaha, i hope thats not for you.

well from everything i have read here and what the honest bike salesman said at the store, she decided not to get one. instead we found a very nice '77 XL350, for a really good price for her. just needs a cab clean and some elbow grease. just a little jealous that i didn't have such a kick ass...

thats so nice, i wouldn't let anyone put anything on it.

thanks man! we are from victoria, bc. vancouver island. a bit far from pittsburgh haha. but hey, it's good to know people. and even better to support other bands!

thanks man. i'm the bass player and do backing vocals. we are working on new recordings and should have a 45 and a compilation album with a few buddy bands out soonish. we have been doing awesome this last year. went on tour with electric frankenstien, opened for the dead kennedy's, off with...
