Quote from: clem on Today at 10:26:19 And this isn't even a build thread? Not serious enough to pass muster. My Amateur Madness got in the way. ;) Got the message and I'll post a build thread in the fall. Still be around. deviant, Thanks on the tank. It's really one of the better looking Jap...

DOHCBIKES, Total respect for tellin' it like it is. If you didn't beat around the bush so much I may have gotten the point. ;) Just for the record Tune's and deviant's bikes are both ones that I've had bookmarked already. Good taste huh? And no the bike won't be slammed. It not a budget but...

"after a thousand hours of making mistakes and toiling over every new thing I seen, I finally realized what I needed to do was to stop looking at other bikes and just get to work." Ok Tune-A-Fish Your absolutely right. I'll be in the garage. When I start again next winter, Ill start a build...

Well :) Thanks deviant. I guess the pics were misconstrued as possible Build pics when I was posting about short rear fenders and seats. Actually had your build bookmarked and the pic of your short fender in in my file. Yes it must handle. I ran Enduros back when I was invinceable. Got on a...

Hillsy, It's not about the profit. My budget is more about politics that pocketbook. "All I see so far is another nice cb750 about to get cut up to make another shitbox. Transcend the amateur madness (like you did with the mustang) and restore it. Otherwise part it out". IIRC they made like...

???? :D

I dunno, I didn't build 'em. ;) Don't get it. Apparently I'm asking for it - but what? It's not to copy but more as a style concept. Too Brat like? Oh OH Maybe I should emulate Carpy...

J-Rod10, Like your stuff man. By the time I dug up some bent up rear sets at the salvage and started to make them work, I'd way be ahead with yours. Quality stuff and nice website. Danny

Wonder if it works better than pods though. They seem to on the 550s. There was a SOHC member making them I thought.

;)Harsh man... That's the pic from the ad. See the wrenches on the floor. 21 days after the ad was placed, I walked in the garage and they were still there. Actually all over - like walking on skittles. Totally AHDD Had to leave on biz so I never got any good pictures. Maybe tone down on the...

Tune- She understands, when I met her she was driving a z-28 and had 3 motorhead brothers. She doesn't want me going overboard. Too familiar with "Project Creep and the "While You're at Its" Stopped counting receipts on the Clone Vert at 55,000. She loves the car though. After all Carroll...

Noob alert... Just so you know where I'm coming from... http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=68662.0 Well it found me. Been looking hard for a bike for awhile. You know, the right combo of "Needs Work" and "Man, but the potential!" I was looking on Searchtempest (craigslist) for...

OK I'd have to agree with everything so far... Except maybe Tuna-A-Fish being an asshole... Well maybe around his wife, Dunno. "We could even use my shop. Smack dab in the middle of america." And I'll bet you've got better looking girls. Personally, I find the girl distracting. And not in a...

OH CRAP!! A TEST ALREADY!!!??? mmm ...sportbike for sure... How am I doing so far? :D I need to cruise more of the bike dismantlers. For most cafe guys, it's probably more fun than a titty bar... Might be a good education on the newer stuff as options. Danny

Wow I'm truly impressed. Great combo of old and new I see what's going on up front, What is the swingarm / mono shock from? Got to admire you guys. My problem being away from bikes for so long is that I don't have that "inventory" in my head. -- like .. " Hey I saw a swingarm on something...

Really? Drove past a GS550 for the last year about 4 miles from my house... Old fart special with a windjammer :) Not comfy with them. Probably unfounded...and biased. Danny

Good point on the exposed "triangles". I find through my internet crusin' that, with the SOHCs, for example, no matter how elegant the solution for the oil tank is, if the triangle is exposed, it seems a distraction. I've saved a bunch of pics of solutions for my possible future. I like the...

NICE!! Tastefully done. Like the Cognito Moto inspired swap too. 550/650s are a favorite. I know how kids make projects take a back seat. Kids are your biggest improvement project. (Both them and you ). Whenever you get back to being interested in working on the TR 6, my buddy has made his...

I hadn't looked at CVs that way but now that you say it , They do appeal to the Industrial side of me. Sort of Military/Tractor - like... Kott had a 550 they called Storm Trooper. I think these CXs lend themselves better to that style...

Hehe Thanks! Been around enough forums and actually enjoy the camaraderie that I've seen. Yes there are some know-it-alls but their respect comes later and sweeter with time. Hey, a slap in the back of the head is just what the doctor ordered sometimes :'( Part of the Cafe mystique for me...
